Golden milestone for Heunis
The Heunis family.
HEUNIS STEEL, NOW a third generation company, opened its doors for business in 1968. The company’s original product range included downpipes, gutters and accessories. Since Anton Heunis took over ownership of the company in 1999, the company became involved in other markets and expanded into diverse areas creating added value opportunities to its existing business. Today, Heunis Steel is one of the top roof sheeting suppliers, renowned for excellent service and quality.
Heunis Steel is proud to say it has survived many challenges but is still a leading company in its field 50 years later. The secret to its success is offering a solid brand with a well-deserved image of total honesty, integrity, quality and service.
In order to stay ahead of its competition, Heunis had to invest a great deal of capital in to the plant, automation and new technology to streamline its production. This in turn meant having to invest in the support necessary to keep this technology updated.
One of the major strengths of Heunis Steel is that it is still a family business. Because of this changes can be quickly implemented and market conditions timeously responded to. The red tape common to big corporates is not an issue. The company is also big enough to be seen as a major role player in the industry and this, coupled with their flexibility, has made Heunis Steel a competitive company.
Heunis Steel is now setting its sights on the retail sector and offer phenomenal delivery lead times with a minimum of three months stock being available at any given time.
