John Furphy set up a Blacksmith and Wheelwright shop and begins making agricultural equipment. Over time his business grows and in the 1880s the shop becomes a fully-fledged foundry, producing iron castings. 100 years later Furphy’s Foundry becomes a leading manufacturer and supplier of street and park furniture and public BBQ products. Furphy’s Foundry is one of Australia’s oldest companies, managed by a 5th generation family member Sam Furphy. In 2021 the Furphy Infrastructure Group was created.
