To be Africa’s leading provider of trusted steel water storage and structural solutions, recognised for quality, innovation, and lasting partnerships that help communities and industries thrive
At Staalboer, our mission is to deliver durable steel water storage and structural solutions across Africa. We combine engineering excellence with reliable service to help clients in agriculture, industry, and infrastructure meet their water storage and security needs with confidence.
Staalboer is a proudly South African steel manufacturing business based in Pretoria, Gauteng.
Established in 2003 by Jan Andries Smith Snr, Staalboer began as a family business and has grown into a trusted supplier across multiple countries, including Zimbabwe, Lesotho, Zambia, Botswana, Namibia, Eswatini (Swaziland), Uganda, and Sri Lanka. To date, we have completed roughly 3,600 projects across Africa and beyond.
We manufacture steel panel reservoirs, tank stands, and guard towers, providing reliable solutions for agriculture, industry, and infrastructure. Jan-Andries Smith Jnr is currently the Managing Director of Staalboer Aqua, a subdivision of Staalboer focused on the manufacturing of steel panel reservoirs.
While we offer a wide range of standard products, we’re known for our flexibility and willingness to tackle unique challenges. We enjoy finding practical, custom solutions without compromising on quality, and we’re experienced in managing tough conditions on site.
We believe in honest workmanship, strong relationships, and consistent quality. We are always ready to admit that we are only human, but we take pride in what we do and how we do it, and we never stop giving our best.
Our work is grounded in principles that guide every decision we make. From the materials we select to the way we engage with clients, our values shape the quality, consistency, and reliability of everything we deliver. These are the standards that define us and the foundation of every tank, stand, and tower we build.
