About BaksteenMel (SA)
We run a fleet of approximately 45 heavy duty vehicles and are SABlock's biggest independant offtake.
We sell approximately 7 million bricks per month, reaching all of Gauteng, from low-cost housing to
to exclusive developments.
Due to the vast volumes of various products we purchase, our pricing structure is more competitive
as we incorporate our volume discounts into our delivered price.
Invariably we negotiate only one price increase per year, effective 1st of January yearly.
We have our own in-house transport company, with specialized vehicles using aluminium trailers
that are able to carry 40% more product compared to other average transport haulers, resulting in
more favourable transport rates.
When coupled with our volume discounts, our pricing structure is more competitive than most of the
manufacturers!
