NJR Steel Celebrates a One Year Milestone

25 April 2024

It’s hard to believe that an entire year has passed since the exciting acquisition by NJR Steel of Staalbeer Steel Merchants’ three branches, located in Potchefstroom, Vereeniging, and Bothaville.


As we commemorate this significant milestone, it’s a fitting time to reflect on the impressive strides we have taken over the past year and to look ahead at the promising opportunities that lie on the horizon.

A Year of Expanding & Improving

Purchasing the three Staalbeer branches in Potchefstroom, Vereeniging and Bothaville and then setting them up as NJR Steel branches was a major move for NJR Steel that took a lot of hard work and dedication from both the existing NJR staff and the staff at the original Staalbeer branches that joined our family.


It helped us spread our wings into important parts of South Africa, adding the Trusses to our mix and expanding our roofing options, while also broadening our footprint in the North West province.


In addition to the above, we’re happy to announce the opening of a new improved bigger hardware store at our Bothaville branch which is in line with the NJR model across all it’s branches . This means we are a “one stop shop” meeting all your needs under one roof, providing a wide range of products.

And that’s not all! In the next two months, we’re planning to launch similar hardware stores at our Potchefstroom and Vereeniging branches.


It’s all about making things better for you, our valued customers.

Celebrating One Year Together

The team came together to mark this special one-year anniversary, recognizing the advancements achieved since joining the NJR family. Their dedication and effort have played a vital role in the growth and accomplishments of NJR Steel in the past year.

Staying Local, Thinking Big

While some companies are centralizing their operations, NJR Steel believes in the importance of local branches. These branches provide personalized service, quick access to products, and efficient deliveries.


The acquisition of Staalbeer Steel Merchants strengthens NJR Steel's ability to provide excellent service to its customers.

Looking Forward to the Future

The past year has been a growth year, and making things work smoothly for the Staalbeer branches transitioning into NJR Steel branches . We will continue to innovate, and most importantly, keep our customers happy. We’re all about making sure you get what you need when you need it.


Big thanks go out to all our loyal customers, hardworking employees, and everyone who’s supported us along the way. Together, we’ll keep building a brighter future for NJR Steel and the communities we serve.

Re-roofing a Landmark: NJR Delivers Engineering Precision at NWU Auditorium NJR Potchefstroom was recently commissioned by North-West University (NWU) to solve a persistent leak in the auditorium roof—a complex task due to the very low pitch of the existing structure. Rather than replace the roof entirely, the team opted to erect a new roof structure over the old one. This solution ensured minimal disruption to ongoing activities inside the auditorium. In the absence of an appointed architect, NJR joined the design team directly, offering both product expertise and technical input. Our proposed light steel truss system was reviewed and approved by the project’s structural engineer. The project posed significant engineering challenges. The 40-year-old auditorium had no CAD documentation—only original paper plans. The building’s large, kite-shaped roof spans 70 metres diagonally and 35 metres across the shorter axis, with perimeter wall heights reaching 12 metres.

Multi-Functional Security Made Simple: NJR’s DeFence System Delivers Beyond the Perimeter  What began as a standard perimeter fencing installation at a major shopping centre quickly evolved into a showcase of the adaptability and effectiveness of NJR Steel’s DeFence modular fencing system. Originally specified to secure the property boundary, the see-through DeFence panels and modular post system proved so versatile that they were soon deployed across a wide range of additional security applications on-site. These included protective enclosures for external air conditioning units, electrical distribution boxes, water tanks, and other vulnerable infrastructure installations—demonstrating the system's suitability for more than just perimeter DeFence.
