Clotan Steel (Pty) Ltd | 4 Hertz Blvd 10th Ave, NW 7 Vanderbijlpark 1900, Gauteng

Clotan Steel started off on a very small scale in 1983 by selling blanked galvanised sheets that were decoiled manually from mother coils and cut to specified lengths with a primitive guillotine.

The client base consisted exclusively of informal businesses that manufactured handmade galvanised items such as buckets etc. This low overhead business was conducted in order to maintain some sort of cash flow while, simultaneously, an IBR profile roof sheeting roll former was being manufactured on the premises from scratch. The IBR roll former went into operation after 21 months. With limited finances, hard work and endurance by the owners and four staff members, a new business was born.
