Since 1873, Furphy Foundry has grown from an agricultural implement maker, to a
diversified foundry and manufacturing company which is now one of Australia's
oldest companies and managed by 4th and 5th generation family members. Along with
other products sold around Australia, our specialisation in the design and
manufacture of street and park furniture has become widely excepted as superior,
for heritage and contemporary environments.
Our manufacturing capability includes a cast aluminium facility, steel fabrication, laser
cutting and specialised coatings, combined, these mediums give us the ability to
design and manufacture a diverse range of in-house and custom designed products.
Some of our more prestigious projects were the manufacture of the cast iron fencing
at Sydney's Circular Quay and our specially designed tree grates through out the
Olympic Village at "Homebush", for the year 2000 games. In addition we have been
responsible for the major up grading of many streetscapes, parks and many other
public places.
Our ability to continue as a leader in this field is underpinned by a new strategic
direction focussing heavily on design innovation, sustainable products, enhanced
customer service, High quality products and competitive pricing. Furphy's Foundry
commitment to manufacturing quality products was first summarised in a verse in
1910 when company founder, John Furphy inscribed the following words on the
cast ends of the Furphy water cart...
"Good, better, best -
never let it rest -
till your good is better -
and your better, best. "
