For more than 160 years, J. Furphy & Sons has been part of Australia’s manufacturing story – a legacy built on trust, quality, and innovation. From proud beginnings in Shepparton to today’s operations across Shepparton, Albury and Geelong, the fifth-generation family business continues to deliver industry-leading steel products that support local jobs, communities, and industries nationwide.

Our heritage is the foundation of everything we do – but it’s our people, our customers, and our shared vision for the future that drive us forward. Across stainless-steel tanks, hot dip galvanizing, industrial coatings, and fabricated products, Furphy combines traditional craftsmanship with cutting-edge technology to deliver solutions that stand the test of time.

This year, we also take the time to celebrate some very special milestones and achievements within our Furphy family. We thank and farewell Peter Doyle, who after an incredible 40 years of service leaves behind a legacy of hard work, dedication, and mateship. We also congratulate Joel Sibraa, who was recognised with a prestigious Welding Excellence Award for Welding Professional of the year by Weld Australia – a reflection of his outstanding contribution to both Furphy and the broader manufacturing sector.

Our commitment to community also remains central to who we are. We are proud to have supported the Life’s Little Treasures Foundation, helping provide vital neonatal incubators that make a real difference to families when they need it most. In addition, our ongoing sponsorship of the McKern Foundation helps provide nutritious school breakfasts to local children – supporting the next generation to grow, learn, and thrive.

As we look to the future, J. Furphy & Sons remains committed to building a brighter tomorrow through sustainable practices, investment in innovation, and strong community partnerships. Together with our team, customers, and partners, we will continue to deliver on our promise:
