Our People Make It Happen

The stainless steel industry attracts some of the best minds in terms of technology and business acumen, and Columbus is no exception.

Our growth is not just dependent on things such as technology and sound business strategies; it is our staff who use the technology to its optimum capabilities. Columbus Stainless has attracted talented leaders in the field who understand the emerging technical, commercial and marketing aspects unique to this business.

The skills profile of our employees is comparable with the international industry average and higher than that of the local industry. Columbus primarily employs staff with a minimum of 12 years schooling. Some 25 percent of our people have studied at higher education institutions. One third of our people are also studying further in their own time - with the support of Columbus. We have developed a culture of learning and promote a system of continued enrichment through acquiring new knowledge and honing leadership skills.

We value new and innovative ideas because these drive improvement. Columbus Stainless is constantly evaluating new technology and the positive benefits these can have on our operations. But we also know technology has to be directed by the brightest minds.
