Arons Hardware was established in (Potgietersrus) Mokopane in July 1991 by Haroon Chaya. Mr Chaya was previously a partner at Mohamedy’s
(1976 - 1990), and E.H. Hassim (1971 - 1975). It was here that he first
recognized the need for a specialist supplier of goods and services to the
Industrial, Mining and Engineering sectors, hence the establishment of Arons Hardware.

Arons Hardware was established with only 6 staff members. Today the
organisation has approximately 335 staff members with a combined business management experience of over 100 years, all of whom come from previously disadvantaged communities.
