You've probably seen it from the ferry. But here's what went into building it.

The Queenscliff Ferry Terminal is one of Australia's most awarded coastal buildings, and every bit of its internal structural steel was hot dip galvanized by our Geelong team.

The project was complex, requiring 170 tonnes of steel for a coastal environment with hard weather conditions, and tight construction window that left almost no room for delays.

Hot dip galvanizing was chosen because it's built for exactly this.

No cure time, no weather delays, no onsite touchups.

Just a coating that bonds to the steel and lasts.

With 20 years to first maintenance, the result is a building that proves hot dip galvanizing can deliver durability and architectural excellence in the same structure.

Winter's coming. And it’s time to finally upgrade that patio.

The Furphy Fire Pit is handcrafted from 3 & 4mm thick steel, built to last and sized to impress at 108cm wide.

Perfect for backyards and nights under the stars, it turns any outdoor space into somewhere people actually want to be.

Last week the team at our Geelong plant stopped to mark something worth celebrating. 50,000 safe man hours without a lost-time injury.

This is a milestone that doesn't happen by accident.

It happens because every person on the floor makes the right call, every day.

To mark the occasion, staff gathered for a team lunch, and a banner was signed by all as a simple but meaningful gesture of shared commitment to a safe workplace.

The day also recognised some of our team members who have been part of the Furphy story for the long haul:

5 years: Raza Ahmadi
10 years: Fiona Carmichael and Kway Htoo
20 years: Joanne Graue

Thank you to our managing director Adam Furphy for joining the team on the day, and congratulations to everyone at our Geelong plant.

This is what strong safety culture looks like 👍

Shifting consumer behaviour and emerging product categories are driving real demand for new manufacturing capacity in the food and beverage sector.

That's where we come in…

Our Managing Director Adam Furphy recently welcomed a group of industry guests to our Shepparton site for a first-hand look at stainless tanks and vessels currently under construction.

Many of them are destined for food and beverage manufacturers navigating significant capital growth projects.

The group included representatives from the Committee for Greater Shepparton, the Gardiner Foundation, and the Australian Food and Grocery Council.
