      Frequently Asked Questions

      • What does VRN do exactly?

        Macsteel VRN supplies specialised steel for specific needs: Quenched and Tempered Carbon Steel, Stainless Steel flat and long products as well as Aluminium in flat and extruded form. We’ve invested in technologically advanced equipment which enables us to supply complex cut and processed components with tight tolerance for various industries.
        VRN provide these solutions to our customers from a network of eight branches including Gauteng, Durban, Cape Town, Kathu, Klerksdorp, Rustenburg, Springbok and Witbank and with additional sales offices in Lephalale, Port Elizabeth, Richards Bay and Vaal Triangle. Our footprint is shaped by the spread of industry.

      • What services do we offer?

        Logistics Management: Utilising information technology as a platform, Macsteel VRN acts as a link between end users and steel producers by meeting customers’ demand for: small tonnage requirements (break bulk), specified short notice deliveries, warehousing of inventories and providing a safety stock buffer, managing mill orders and expediting mill orders.

        Value Added Processes: Utilising pre-production processing equipment such as: oxy fuel/plasma/laser profilers, press brakes, rollers, machine centres for drilling and chamfering, cut-to-length lines, slitting lines and guillotines – Macsteel VRN can provide customers with pre-production input components.

        Financial Risk Sharing: Macsteel VRN can take care of the “cost of possession” component of inventory thereby reducing customer’s financial risk – credit finance, inventory holding costs, hedge against obsolesce – these funds can in turn be released by the customer into productive assets.

      • Why do your products differ from Trading?

        Every type of steel that we supply is graded for the specific quality required when it comes to specific, safety critical applications. VRN sell specific materials required for an application, and then we add value on top of that: cutting, weld-prepping, machining, drilling and/or rolling.

      • How do you drill your holes in liner plates up to 500BNH?

        Traditionally, the practice was to heat up the plate to drill a hole into it. However, using this method, you sacrifice a measure of structural integrity, seeing as the heat alters the chemical composition of the plate. Using CNC machining, we form the hole in the plate without the heat and we can supply the customer with a strong and a safe plate that includes countersunk and nib holes.

      • What is the lead time for delivery?

        The lead time is depended on stock availability and the client’s location. The delivery date is dependent on the client’s geographic location which has a direct influence on the route plan. The delivery dates will be communicated to the client by our sales team. Every effort is made to get goods to the customer as soon as possible, this is always dependent on volume per delivery route. On many of our fixed delivery routes we have a predetermined schedule when we deliver. There is flexibility to this schedule.
