Furphy Engineering
The Furphy story began in 1873 when John Furphy established a blacksmith and wheelwright shop, then added steam works to progress from light smithing to heavier engineering work. Around 1878 the iron foundry section of the business began and by 1888 John Furphy had the most extensive establishment of its kind in Northern Victoria. Continuing growth and diversification has seen the addition of a Metal Service Centre, Industrial Store, Hot Dip Galvanizing plant and high-tech Laser Cutting facility to the Engineering workshop. These divisions combine to form a truly unique metal trade centre on a single site. Project engineering and fabrication remains Furphy’s core business and today Furphy’s is an innovator in the design and fabrication of stainless steel tank structures and equipment for major engineering projects.
