NEWS NEW PREMISES

Matus makes a move

Matus had spent around 28 years in its operations building based in Durban, but the time has come to move on and they are now situated at new address in Glen Anil, Durban North.

fter many years of operations from its previous premises, Matus had outgrown the space and needed to move to a more suitable building. The

new building was a necessity to allow for future growth and to make the business more efficient. The new building offers a more streamlined and customerfriendly environment with all services integrated, which will make collecting or visiting the new home a more seamless and valuable customer experience. The building includes a new and updated showroom with plenty of parking. A more organised and the optimised warehouse will allow Matus to improve on the already good service levels the customers are used to. The new site is only 6km away from the previous one, but is in a safer area and easier to access. The Matus staff is also looking forward a new and updated place to work from, and as usual, the KZN team will settle in and get the job done in a brighter, cleaner and more fit for purpose building.

From tiny acorns mighty oaks grow... From small frustrations a major business grew 40 years ago Hendrik Marais got frustrated helping customers find the right fastener out of a bin or a box. His solution: start EUREKA in a room of his hardware shop. The aim was a model to turn frustrations into delight for both consumers and store-owners when buying fasteners. Those small frustrations led to major breakthroughs and delights:

Breakthrough 1: Put sensible quantities in reusable bags with sensible labels and display them from small to large â€“ then anyone can find what they are looking for with minimal assistance.

Breakthrough 2: Instead of loose pegs, use stands with fixed pegs, then you get a lot more SKUs on â€“ and no one moves them around. Breakthrough 3: Deliver and let drivers merchandise.

No more mistakes, no courier, no boxes, easy check-in. Seventy trucks deliver straight from factory to stores across Southern Africa.

Breakthrough 4: The brand is the guarantee.

Users want to know they are getting quality - and a well trusted brand is the best guarantee. Consumers say, “Fasteners come in orange” – then they buy orange for any fixing or fastening.

Breakthrough 5: Use IT to the hilt. Fasteners are used and bought differently to most other products. To provide optimal store income and optimal customer satisfaction, you need detail history and smart algorithms. EUREKA developed their unique SSS system as no commercial program could do what was needed.

Breakthrough 6: Made in South Africa.

China can make good quality but to really keep quality high and ensure you always have what South Africa needs, “Make it proudly in South Africa” is the best approach. Most of what EUREKA sells is made in six factories in Roodepoort, from South African steel, by South African workers

The idea of composite roof tiles is not new.

As an established roofing manufacturer, Harvey Roofing Products has the necessary engineering expertise, manufacturing capacity, supply chain and distribution footprint to produce and supply a consistent product. Aesthetically, the shape of an EcoTile is similar to that of a Double Roman concrete tile but its fixing methodology will result in a roof being a single impregnable unit. Given the engineering of the product, it will display symmetrical lines once installed. This means a complete roof will be weather, water and dust proof as all gaps are eliminated. EcoTile will provide opportunities for community development as the recycled plastic needed will be sourced from community projects. Product testing including fire resistance, wind uplift and accelerated weathering has been completed and Harvey Roofing Products estimates full-scale production will commence in November 2020.

KNOB CYLINDER

A cylinder lock, also known as a pin tumbler lock, a profile cylinder lock or euro; is a locking mechanism, as used on a door. The mechanism uses a series of different length pins, which follow the pattern of the key. When the key is inserted, the pins move into the correct position so the key can be turned, and the door can be opened. These are the most secure locks available because they are housed internally within the storage unit, like front door locks in your house or apartment. These cannot be cut, as the locks do not stick out of the unit door. Like disc locks, they are also strike-proof, drill-proof and pick-proof. Boltfix offers a range of cylinders in different sizes and finishes in both keyed to differ and keyed alike and can be found in their aluminium solution.
