coating mill in South Africa, Safal Steel is now offering consumers a local
alternative to galvanised steel, available either unpainted and branded ZincAL®
or pre-painted branded COLORPLUS®.
During
project phase Safal Steel was a major contributor to employment in Cato Ridge
with over 600 staff members assisting with the completion of the project and
alleviating the 60% unemployment rate which exits in the Cato Ridge basin. The
Mayor Mr James Nxumalo highlighted the opportunity which the local community
has for up-skilling and the ability to earn a stable income.
Currently
Safal Steel employs 340 staff members from local communities and surrounds, in
various semi-skilled, skilled and admin positions. The Mill can produce
150 000 tons per annum, giving rise to a further indirect employment of
services in the freight, road, and contracting industries.
