    Introduction

    According to the International Trade Centre’s Trade Map, South Africa is the largest exporter of metal fasteners in Africa. South Africa exported metal fasteners to the value of R1.36bn in 2020, with exports to other African countries accounting for 92.5% of the total.\r\n\r\n Factors such as the impact of the pandemic, poor economic growth and high input costs continue to have a significant impact on the performance of the metal fasteners manufacturing and wholesale industry.

    Strengths

    • Distributor partnerships with international manufacturers to supply their products locally.
    • Government support.
    • Input materials are available in South Africa.
    • Various diverse end user industries.

    Weaknesses

    • Energy-intensive production processes make producers vulnerable to high electricity costs and load-shedding.
    • Machinery has to be imported.
    • Most companies are small.

    Opportunities

    • Exports to regions experiencing shortages due to global supply disruptions.
    • Increasing exports due to growth in African end user industries.
    • Pledge by the local automotive manufacturing industry to increase its use of locally manufactured metal fasteners.

    Threats

    • Impact of COVID-19 on demand for products.
    • Inconsistent supply of electricity.
    • Increasing costs of electricity, water and raw materials in particular, pose a threat to the industry’s profitability and sustainability.
    • Poor economic growth affects demand for products.

    Outlook

    Analysts forecast the global shortage of metal fasteners and strong demand for these products will continue in 2022. Global sales of metal fasteners are expected to have a compound annual growth rate of 4% to reach US$80.5bn by 2027, largely due to ongoing investment in infrastructure projects, and growing vehicle production.\r\n\r\nAt least in 2022, the local metal fastener industry is expected to experience increased demand from the mining and automotive manufacturing industries in South Africa. Credit intelligence provider Fitch Solutions expects the mining industry will experience growth in 2022 as global metals and minerals prices remain elevated as a result of supply disruptions and higher demand due to the recovery of the world economy. The National Association of Automobile Manufacturers of South Africa expects the local automotive manufacturing industry to grow in 2022. It said in January 2022: “With a GDP growth rate forecast of a moderate 1.8% in 2022, the new vehicle market is expected to continue its gradual recovery during the year, but at a slower pace and at this stage a year-on-year improvement of around 8% in aggregate new vehicle sales volumes is projected for 2022.” The metal fasteners industry could grow exports to regions experiencing shortages due to global supply disruptions.

    Report Coverage

    This report covers the manufacture and wholesale of metal fasteners, and describes the state of the industry, local and international conditions and developments and factors influencing the sector’s success. It includes comprehensive profiles of 32 companies including EMVAfrica, formed through the 2018 merger of Energy Engineered Products, Multi Alloys and E-Metals Cape. It also profiles companies such as Hilti, which is using innovative technologies for chemical fasteners and for grating fastenings on steel and aluminium in highly corrosive environments, and Connectco Fasteners, which took over the manufacturing operations of Fascor.

    Introduction

    This report focuses on the South African metal fasteners sector which is a small contributor to the manufacturing sector. The manufacturing industry contributed 13.2% to GDP in 2017. Year-on-year growth in production manufacturing of basic iron and steel products in October 2018 was 1.2%. The decline in volume of production manufacturing of parts and accessories for the motor vehicle industry, which is a major customer base for the metal fastener sector, is of concern to the industry. Coupled with weak economic growth and cheap imports from China, local manufacturers are facing difficult trading conditions.

    Strengths

    • Bigger growth in exports than in imports indicates growing demand in export markets.
    • Distributor partnerships with international manufacturers to enable the supply of quality metal fasteners to the local market.
    • Government initiatives to support exporters.
    • Government’s incentive scheme to mitigate the effects of the import tariffs on the downstream steel sector.
    • High duties on some imported fasteners.
    • Strong export market in SADC.

    Weaknesses

    • Import duties are the cause of price increases.
    • Ineffective policing of duties on imports.
    • Lack of enforcement by state companies to procure local content.
    • The decline of the local steel industry that is impacting of steel supply.
    • The local manufacturing sector is not competitive.

    Opportunities

    • Black industrialists development programme could create new entrants and stimulate job creation.
    • Government’s local procurement for designated products should be a driver for demand.
    • Government’s stimulus plan that is likely to promote infrastructure development and create demand for metal fasteners.
    • The manufacture of specialised fasteners according to end-users’ specifications.

    Threats

    • Increasing input costs which could result in low profit margins for manufacturers or higher selling prices.
    • Increasing number of cheap imports of lower quality.
    • Low growth in manufacturing output leads to a decrease in demand from customers in low-growth sub-sectors such as automotive parts and accessories.
    • The weakening rand, which hinders opportunities for exports and increases costs of imported materials.

    Outlook

    Seifsa expects 1.1% growth in 2018 and 1.7% in 2019 for the metals and engineering sector against the backdrop of improving commodity prices. The expectation is for the metals and engineering industries to continue to benefit from a possible mild up-turn in domestic demand. However, the continuous improvement in domestic growth will depend, amongst other factors, on the rapid implementation of Ramaphosa’s stimulus plan. The continued survival of the sector depends, as far as the domestic economy is concerned, on the health and growth of the sectors which are drivers of its demand, namely mining, construction and the automotive sector.

    Report Coverage

    The report on the Manufacture and Wholesale of Metal Fasteners discusses the current conditions, the range of government interventions aimed at stimulating local manufacture and factors influencing the success of the sector. The report also profiles 40 companies including Avlock International which in partnership with CBC Fasteners, exports fastening systems to the United Kingdom, Canada, Paris, Italy and Australia, and SA Bolt Manufacturers (Pty) Ltd, which serves local and international markets with particular emphasis on the African continent.

    Introduction

    This report focuses on the South African metal fasteners sector, which was worth an estimated R2.3bn in 2013. The metal fasteners sector is a small contributor to the manufacturing sector with demand in volume for metal fasteners across all economic sectors amounting to 9.2% of total demand for all downstream steel products in 2013. One of the biggest challenges facing the sector is the decline in the South African mining sector, which is the biggest end-user of metal fasteners. Coupled with weak economic growth and cheap imports from China, local manufacturers are facing increasingly difficult times.

    Strengths

    • Distributors’ partnerships with international manufacturers to enable the supply of quality, modern metal fasteners to the local market.
    • High duties on some imported fasteners.

    Weaknesses

    • Ineffective policing of duties on imports.
    • Lack of investment in capacity and R&D.
    • The industry’s dependence on one main local steel manufacturer.
    • The local manufacturing sector is not competitive.

    Opportunities

    • Government support for downstream, value-adding industries within the manufacturing sector.
    • Infrastructure development in South Africa and in Africa.
    • The manufacture of specialised fasteners according to end-users’ specifications.

    Threats

    • Government’s budget constraints leading to the suspension of financial aid to the manufacturing sector.
    • Increasing input costs which could result in low profit margins for manufacturers or higher selling prices, with local manufacturers still unable to compete with cheap imports.
    • Increasing number of cheap imports of lower quality.
    • Labour unrest and low productivity in affiliate industries.
    • Severe constraints on capital expenditure by consumers in the mining and petrochemical industries.
    • Skills shortages.
    • The saturation of the global market with Asian imports, which limits export opportunities for local fasteners manufacturers.
    • The weakening rand, which hinders opportunities for exports and increases costs of imported materials.

    Outlook

    Feedback from the metal fasteners sector indicates no plans to expand business until the mining and construction industries start growing again. However, falling commodity prices, increasing costs and slower demand for mining outputs from China are expected to continue, which will contribute to low growth in the sector in the short-term. Bascol sees no new opportunities for growth at the moment in South Africa while Boltfast stated that expansion into Africa will require a lot of capital for investment in infrastructure and for the training of employees.
