Happy Trading!

Well, fast forward almost two years and we’ve come a long way since those first five weeks of lockdown. In just two articles in this publication we write about initiatives to circumvent the Covid-19 dilemma. One is the new Vermont Sales exhibition centre that recently opened, and the other featured Essential Hardware who hosted its first virtual trade show. These initiatives we work in. I am excited to see retail – more specifically hardware – doing relatively well during these trying times. Taking a wild guess at our future, I think you will find more innovative ways to accomplish your business goals. Moving along, it being October already, you will find the annual Christmas Guide starting on page 38.

ABRASIVES

Any DIY project can be made easier with the right abrasive

DIY, industrial or specialist: focussed ranges, whatever your customer requirements, Ruwag has the solution.

Grinding Techniques’ experts provide advice on choosing the correct abrasives for any project.

hen it comes to choosing the correct abrasives for hand tools, it is important to know the required application, and the desired results your customer would like to achieve. Not only will the correct

abrasive ensure the longevity of the hand tool, but it will also result in a high performing application and successful completion of any job. One of the most important factors to consider when it comes to abrasives, is the type of material that will be used for the application. It imperative to use the correct abrasive The abrasive market carries a wide range of products specifically manufactured for applications on both ferrous and non-ferrous metals. It is important to note that manufacturers will always indicate the suitable material on the packaging labels of their products. This information is of great value to ensure the right abrasive is used on the right material to avoid contamination during application which can easily occur when using the same abrasives on multiple materials. A common misconception is that Stainless Steel cannot rust. The same is often true for aluminium. While the actual oxidation process is different to ‘normal’ steels, these metals can still oxidise (rust) if not handled and processed correctly. With Stainless Steels, normal oxidation creates a thin barrier or film like layer on the surface, called chromium oxide. Unlike mild steel rusting, the chromium oxide layer sticks to the metal, thereby protecting it. If this layer is stripped off, the metal will rust. High quality grade Stainless

Dreaming of the perfect summer garden?

Stainless Steel after working on Mild or Cast steels. Non-ferrous metals like copper and aluminium, which are softer but harder to grind require abrasives that will not burn, contaminate, or discolour the material. The most common stumbling block when working with these materials, is clogging of the disc that causes the disc to glaze and stop grinding and or cutting. Establishing the right abrasive for the intended application is another important factor to consider. With so many available options, it is important

to distinguish between the results delivered by various products. If your application involves abrasive cutting just to separate material, a normal conventional cutting disc could be the obvious choice, but if you are looking to have reduced material wastage, less burr formation, and more cuts, a slimline or thin cutting disc ranging with a thickness between 1-and-2mm would be the best choice. For fast stock removal applications, the general choice has always been abrasive grinding discs. If your end-product will be painted, coated or polished it generally requires a smoother finish, a flap disc might be the best. Available in two types and different grits, they can be used for a range of applications. The Type 27, also known as flat, is ideal for blending, smoothing and finishing while the Type 29 has a more conical appearance offering a greater contact area, making it perfect for aggressive stock removal. Another popular application with hand tools, is sanding. Random Orbital Sanders, Sheet Orbital Sanders, Detail Sanders, and Belt Sanders are some of the most used power sanders. A wide range of abrasive sanding discs and sheets are available in different grits to allow for applications ranging from stock, paint and rust removal to finishing and blending. Considering all these factors when it comes to choosing abrasives for your hand tools, it is also important to note the precautionary safety measures that need to be actioned when working with abrasives. Manufacturers will always indicate what type of PPE (Personal Protective Equipment) to wear during applications to ensure maximum safety to the operator and safe operation.

of Rainkote, the first acrylic waterproofer for the retail trade. It was an immediate success due to its ease-of-use and long life, Rainkote and later with other competing products created a large new retail category. At the same time Duram made the important strategic decision to dedicate themselves only to retail, and cease all supply directly to the trade, a commitment which remains today.

Durabak and Herculiner Duram’s most significant technical – as opposed to marketing breakthrough was the development, in 1983, of Durabak. This single pack Bakkie liner was developed to compete with the then established two component Bakkie liners. Durabak proved very successful and was later taken over by a US distributor. It is still the most popular DIY Bakkie liner in the US and is still made in Cape Town.

Expansion into metal care In 1997 Duram bought Aldrin, a company which specialised in anti-rust coatings, including the iconic NS4 Anti-Rust Primer. Duram have subsequently added to this range and the metal-care category remains a key part of Duram’s specialist product range. Because of the growth and brand recognition of Duram’s waterproofing and specialty products, Duram launched a comprehensive collection of decorative and tinting paints in 2016.

Build it CBS EDENVALE & CBS BEDFORDVIEW

DOUBLE THE LOVE FOR RETAIL Only 5km apart, two successful Build it stores proudly sell hardware and deliver construction materials in Johannesburg’s East Rand. This is how the second generation owners talk: “Retail is in our blood, we love it!...”, “Buying, selling and making a profit is what I’ve wanted to do my whole life..”, “It gives me goosebumps - Every time you get on that floor, you are humbled by all the perspectives from all walks of life,” says Marc de Sousa. Brothers Marc and Franco de Sousa passionately run Build it CBS Edenvale and Build it CBS Bedfordview together with their business partner Jason White. HOW IT ALL STARTED The journey started in 1988 when José de Sousa closed his hospitality businesses to go into retail. The Oasis Restaurant & Beer Hall located in the front of the premises, had adjacent tenant René Herbst, a sand wholesaler at the back. In a joint venture, de Sousa and Herbst expanded the sand business into a builder’s yard and opened a hardware store. With his passion for retail, José’s dream was to open a one-stop hardware store. Quite a risk, considering he had no experience with hardware and had

“never changed a light bulb”. His idea was obviously right, and the concept worked well.

ensures that every customer coming through their doors is treated with respect and receives the best service

This was the first of five branches José would open in the East Rand: Edenvale, Bedfordview, Tembisa, Boksburg, and Vosloorus. José sold off three of the branches when he retired in 2002. Two of the branches; Edenvale and Bedfordview, were sold to his two sons. Following in their father’s footsteps, Marc and Franco had all the experience required this time, it was a recipe for success.

Convenient delivery service

2006, only four years into business, Marc too had a vision; to expand the business even further. After approaching numerous organisations who turned him down, it was Build it, a division of the SPAR Group who finally said yes. What a partnership it has been for the past 15 years! Jason White, who started working for José at the young age of 15, joined the de Sousa brothers as a partner in 2007. THEIR SECRET With more than 50-years of combined experience in the industry, this trio manages the stores from the floor and Franco de Sousa

possible. Their team comprises 150 staff between the two branches. Each occupying 3,000 m² retail space and 2,000 m² builder’s yards. With a fleet of 21 vehicles consisting of bakkies, 3-ton, 8-ton trucks, and flatbeds, they pride themselves on reliable and convenient delivery service.

RISKS REWARDED “Having Build it taking care of the branding and marketing enables us to focus on customer service,” says Marc. Since they became part of the group, both branches have earned numerous awards such as the ‘Most Improved Store’, and ‘Store of Excellence’.

With 72 stands, an extensive range is on offer. Specialising in product variety, they stock large quantities of Trade Packs and Bulk Packs for contractors as well as smaller packaging for the ever-increasing DIY customer base. This ranges from drill bits, washers, rivets, various fasteners to padlocks.

With thousands of stock-keeping units on offer, they know all too well that you can only sell what you have. In-stock, range, and pricing are necessary to keep contractors and DIY’ers returning to the stores. Other success factors are the friendly service and positive attitude you experience when visiting the stores. Staff turnover is low, meaning regular customers know the floor personnel by name. Staff are quick to assist customers while management work on the floor consulting or answering phones.

Comprehensive fastener range

Build it has helped them to offer contractors all items required - from foundation phase through to roof paint – a truly one-stop-shop. Finishing items such as plumbing, lighting, and fasteners are available and prominent in the stores.

“EUREKA really makes our lives easier, taking care of all the ordering and merchandising. Wish all our suppliers can provide such service,” Franco comments when asked what role EUREKA plays in the success of the stores.

For the past 19 years, EUREKA has been a proud partner and is well represented in both branches.

Insist on Cable ties that comply Johannesburg Tel: (011) 879 6600

with industry norms and standards

Hellermanntyton is synonymous with quality. Its HellermannTyton Insulok Cable Ties are made locally to the highest international standards and the company uses only top-grade, 100% virgin nylon in the production of HellermannTyton Insulok Cable Ties. This is done in its IATF 16949 accredited factory in Johannesburg, which ensures all products are produced under the most stringent quality control processes to comply with all industry norms and standards

“It has recently come to our attention that some competitors are using our product codes and descriptions on their cable tie packaging,” says Ken Dunn, Divisional Manager Network Products. “These copies are not HellermannTyton Insulok Cable Ties and are not necessarily made to the same quality standards as our cable ties. If it does not say HellermannTyton Insulok T18R, T30R, T50R, T50I, T50L, T120R, T120S or LK5 on the packaging, then they are not our high-quality cable ties and we cannot accept any liability for these copies. If not in packaging, our HellermannTyton Insulok Cable Ties can be easily identified by our ‘TCA’ or ‘TCJ’ marking behind the cable tie head.”

With more than 80 years of proven reliability, the HellermannTyton Insulok Cable Tie brand is trusted globally. Insist on HellermanTyton Insulok Cable Ties and do not get caught out by copies offered in the market. “Our knowledgeable sales team is always available to assist you,” says Dunn.
