South Fence Machinery Ltd

South Fence Machinery Ltd is a privately owned New Zealand company whose history dates back to the 1930's.

Originally known as NZ Fence & Gate Works the company operated from a small factory at Petone, in the Wellington industrial area, manufacturing wire products for local distribution.

Over the ensuing years the company - then known as Hurricane Wire Products Ltd. - grew rapidly to become recognised in New Zealand as an industry leader in the manufacture of wire based commodities.

During the same period the Engineering Division was established and the design and manufacture of Hinge Joint Field Fence machines began in 1977. The machines soon gained international recognition.

In 1986 the wire products division of Hurricane Wire Products Ltd was sold and the Engineering Division became South Fence Machinery Ltd. This enabled the company to concentrate all its resources on the design and manufacture of machinery for the wire industry.

South Fence Machinery Ltd has manufactured and installed machines in New Zealand, Australia, USA, Canada, Mexico, United Kingdom, Republic of South Africa, USSR, Portugal, Spain, France, Hungary, Japan, Papua New Guinea and the Philippines.

South Fence Machinery Ltd has 60 employees at its modern 52,000 sq ft plant in Christchurch and utilises the very latest in cad-cam technology to enhance its design capabilities and for the programming of its CNC machinery.

In 1995 South Fence Machinery Ltd gained certification to ISO 9001 the international standard of quality management.

South Fence Machinery Ltd is committed to providing the best and most competitive quality products through innovative techniques and dedicated product support.
