Overview

From Humble Beginnings to Industry Leader

Paragon Steel Structures began its journey in a modest 108-square-meter workshop in Pietermaritzburg. Through years of consistent growth, a commitment to quality, and a forward-thinking approach, we’ve evolved into one of the most respected steel structure construction companies in sub-equatorial Africa. Today, we operate from two advanced manufacturing facilities, each spanning over 3 000 square meters; one in Pentrich Industrial, Pietermaritzburg, and the other in Zambia.

Purpose-Built for Steel Fabrication Excellence

Our Pietermaritzburg head office is strategically located and fully optimized for precision steel fabrication. Every stage; from detailing to cutting, welding, and assembly is streamlined for efficiency and accuracy. Complementing this is our Zambian factory, which not only expands our reach into central Africa but also sets the benchmark for quality in steel structure construction and plate work fabrication in the region.

“Our vision is to become the most reliable, cost effective manufacturer of structural steel solutions in sub equatorial Africa.”

A Trusted Partner in the Built Environment

Over the decades, Paragon Steel Structures has become a preferred partner to property developers, commercial contractors, industrial operators, and agricultural clients across southern Africa. Our long-standing relationships with leading steel merchants have enabled us to introduce and standardize the modern pre-engineered steel shed; now a staple across farms, factories, and logistics hubs throughout the region.

Expanding Capabilities. Delivering 600+ Tons Monthly

Thanks to strategic investments and the growth of our Zambian operation, we’ve diversified into plate work manufacturing, significantly expanding our capabilities. Together, our facilities now produce over 600 tonnes of high-quality fabricated steel each month, supporting projects of all scales and complexities.

A Reputation Built on Relationships and Results

Since our founding in 1986, we’ve successfully delivered thousands of tonnes of structural steel to satisfied clients. Our reputation is rooted in a hands-on approach, shareholder involvement in every project, and a commitment to doing the job right, the first time. This dedication has earned us the loyalty of countless repeat customers and long-term partners.
