Robor, the steel industry that has been providing exceptional service in the manufacture of steel goods for 97 years, is finally closing its doors.
The voluntary winding-up of an industry that manufactured steel pipes and other steel products is attributed to the poor quality, cheaper products manufactured by Chinese institutions.
In response, the Tiso Blackstar company said it was writing off its R137m investment it had invested in Robor.
The closure of Robor is widely regarded as a serious hall largely caused by the government’s policy of Chinese support at the expense of domestic companies, as well as the poor economic condition of the country due to the failure of the ANC regime.
