Appropriately trained personnel are testimony to Macdonald Steel’s commitment to maintaining high standards. The company invests in its people, thus ensuring optimal client service and quality output. The aim is to perpetuate the exceptional standards by having employees regularly attend skills enrichment projects and specialist workshops.
Macdonald Steel, together with other divisions within the Macdonald Group of companies has a workforce of more than 1000 people. This has proven instrumental in the growth of Macdonald Steel and the overall enhancement of the South African steel industry. So much so that Macdonald Steel is widely regarded in the industry as a service provider in training artisans in the fine art of metallurgy.
The adherence to an equal employment opportunity philosophy is an integral factor in the running of the company. Macdonald Steel fully appreciates the imperatives of such transformational policies and is recognised as a historically-disadvantaged-individually owned company. This has resulted in Macdonald Steel consistently receiving Level 3 Contributor status from Empowerdex, with a BEE recognition level of 110 percent.
