“Partnering with people to create exceptional value”

From humble beginnings, the Euro Steel Group of companies has evolved into South Africa’s premier stockist and distributor of stainless steel, special steels, aluminium and other corrosion resisting materials – all in almost every commercially available form.  The group is predominantly positioned in South Africa but has operations in neighbouring countries, all of which combine to actively service Southern Africa and beyond. There is no doubt that our local experience and distribution infrastructure, coupled with our reputation for only representing reputable Mills and stocking only quality products is a powerful combination and the foundation of our success.

Strategic alliances and partnerships have always formed the basis of much of our thinking and in spite of the Group’s growth as a whole, our original philosophy of specific product focus and niche marketing remains and hence the Group continues to consist of a broad spectrum of companies, trading as independent operations under various brands – each catering for its particular market sector demands.

Our core values are: integrity, care, commitment, passion and a win-win approach to all interactions with our stakeholders.  These values inform and underpin all that we do, and as a result, at Euro Steel we pride ourselves in having established the reputation of supplier of choice in most of the major centers in South Africa. We attribute our service record to the quality and ethic of the people we employ and the relationships and partnerships we have formed with our clients and our supply chain.

Our vision is to remain a relevant and sustainable organisation in a rapidly changing world, where we can add value to our stakeholders and nation as a whole. We will continue to partner with people to create exceptional value throughout our supply chain and play our part in developing people and contributing positively to the creation of a just and equitable society.

Stainless steel does not corrode, or rust as easily as ordinary steel. Stainless Steel performs better than ordinary steel in high temperature and cryogenic applications. Stainless Steel is used where both the properties of steel and resistance to corrosion are required.

Stainless steel differs from carbon steel by the amount of chromium present. Stainless steels contain sufficient chromium to form a passive film of chromium oxide, which prevents surface corrosion and blocks corrosion from spreading into the metal's internal structure. The sizes of chromium atoms and their oxides are similar, they pack neatly together on the surface of the metal, forming a stable layer only a few atoms thick. If the metal is cut or scratched and the passive film is disrupted, more oxide will quickly form and recover the exposed surface, protecting it from oxidative corrosion. The passive film requires oxygen to self-repair, so stainless steels have poor corrosion resistance in low-oxygen and poor circulation environments. Stainless steel comes in a variety of Types as well as many grades within those types of Stainless steels.

It is inexpensive and will not rust, this natural resource will never ever run out as 8% of the earth’s crust  is made up of it. Aluminium is the most commonly occurring metallic element on earth. We stock Aluminium in a variety of forms ranging from Sheet , plate, coil and extrusions making it useful for a wide variety of applications. The Density of aluminium is 2.71 and its melting point is 660 degrees Celsius. In contrast to iron, aluminium oxide is the same size as aluminium. Instead of forming rust, the oxide forms a protective layer. The typical alloying elements are copper, magnesium, manganese, silicon and Zinc.
