Steel, maintenance and general consumables in Springs and Gauteng
Send us your list. We source through long-standing supplier relationships and deliver to site — with a Level 1 B-BBEE invoice that counts at 135% on your scorecard.
Shades of Blue sources and delivers steel consumables, building and maintenance consumables and general site consumables to mines, factories and facilities, invoiced by a Level 1 B-BBEE supplier.
A procurement shortcut, not another catalogue
Years of contracting have given us working relationships with steel merchants, hardware wholesalers and specialist suppliers. Send a list — part numbers, sizes or just a description — and we come back with prices, lead times and one consolidated invoice.
For many buyers the point is the scorecard: the same items, bought through a Level 1, 100% black woman-owned supplier, count at 135% recognition.

Questions we get asked
Is there a minimum order?
No fixed minimum. Small orders are combined with a delivery run where possible, so very small orders may carry a delivery charge — the quote shows it.
Can you supply against a standing monthly list?
Yes. Many maintenance and site consumables are the same every month. We can quote a standing list and deliver on a schedule.
Have we worked for you?
A few honest sentences or a 90-second video help the next buyer decide. Nothing appears here until we have confirmed it with you.
Signed letters from clients are on the references page.
