We understand the demand for the big brands in South Africa, and carry a wide range of popular well-known lines. Importantly, we can break case-lots to ensure you only order what you need keeping your cash flow liquid and flexible and your shelves well stocked with ranges.
In todays retail environment, South African retailers are feeling the squeeze from international and local corporate chainstores. We keep you on the competitive edge with our quality, well-priced range of imported products which are also available to small and large order quantities.
We have a national distribution capability and understand the need for retailers to keep their delivery costs down. We break case lots and deliver FREE for orders over R1000.
Serving the mining, agriculture and big industries is competitive and demanding. We stock a wide range of suitable products to fill this need and our strategic geographic location gives us easy access to highways and airports to handle large quantities to, or for, your store.
Never before have retailers felt the pressure from corporate and international chainstores, and we do not see this trend slowing down. Retail stores need to keep their shelves stocked with the ranges to meet customer demands. Ordering large volumes ties up cash flow. At Plusten, we will break case lots to ship you only what you need, stretching your cash flow and stock turns even further.
Plus Ten Hardware was established in 1989. Twenty Five Years ago, the Hardware Industry was virtually controlled by Wholesale Hardware Merchants. Most of the local manufacturers distributed their products exclusively through them. The Wholesalers established their own forum, called the Wholesale Hardware Association, and through this body, amongst other things, dictated pricing structures to the Hardware Retail Trade.
Plus Ten was established with the direct purpose of challenging the Wholesaler alliance. Applying the principal of the 80/20 rule, Plus Ten product range included the 20% of stock items that represented 80% of the Hardware Stores total turnover and offered these items to Hardware Stores at largely discounted prices.
As a result of this strategy, Plus Ten was boycotted by many manufacturers and struggled to fill stock ranges. However as time progressed the market changed and most of the traditional Wholesalers closed their doors. Cash & Carry stores surfaced and the Mass Multi National Corporations were entrenched.
Plus Ten not only survived this progression, but grew stronger.Over the past twenty five years Plus Ten has evolved with the times and has had to adjust to accommodate market changes. Service and price has remained the main focus of operations. We now service our 3200 customers from a well stocked 6500 square metre warehouse. Conveniently situated in Reuven, Booysens, a suburb south of Johannesburg and with easy access to the major highways. North, South East and West.
