WITH the heritage of an Australian manufacturing icon, Furphy Foundry has grown into a trusted name in public infrastructure. Their products ranging from street and park furniture to shelters, restrooms, BBQs and pedestrian bridges are all designed to enhance the usability and appeal of open spaces throughout Australia, serving communities large and small.

Shepparton continues to be the home ground for Furphy Foundry, operating a facility that brings together metal and timber fabrication, cast aluminium production, protective coatings, and product packaging — all managed under one roof. This allows for both quality control and responsiveness across their diverse project range.
