Our History
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.
