With Max Dunn at the helm Dunn & Farrugia Fencing and Gates celebrated 50 years in business in 2020.
Currently we employ over 160 local staff and engage many local contractors who are proud to be a part of our family. Our success comes from the support of our loyal, dedicated staff who are always ready and willing to assist you with all your fencing needs.
Today Dunn & Farrugia Fencing and Gates is a family business, sons Adam 22 & Ryan 20 both joined the business aged 16, and Kurtis 14 currently helps when he is saving up for new bike and is waiting in wings for his full-time opportunity.
Zuri Dunn, arriving April 2022, is the start of the next generation.
In 1968 as a young boy Max moved to the big smoke from Quambone, a small town in NSW & started erecting timber fences as a subcontractor mostly doing subdivision work in St Marys all for just 10cents per foot of fencing he erected.
While installing timber fences, he met another installer, Philip Farrugia, and the two decided to go out on their own, forming the Dunn & Farrugia partnership.
Joined by Phillip Farrugia in 1971 the partnership of Dunn & Farrugia was formed.
Phillips’s backyard in Cambridge Park was the original site. As the business grew larger premises were rented in Regentville Road Penrith.
In 1985, Max bought Philip out but kept the business name as Dunn & Farrugia as it was very well recognised and respected in the fencing industry.
Max has forged ahead in building the Dunn & Farrugia brand and business. His foresight to design hundreds of new products to stay ahead, and at most times, influence the market, and an eye for detail and customer service which is second-to-none, are all reasons why he is an Australian leader in the fencing industry.
The manufacturing site in Penrith is spread over seven acres and in addition we have a network of 10 company-owned branches throughout NSW
The things which stand Max, and the business apart are he is never too busy to take a call from a customer, he gives good old-fashioned service and has never lost sight of his humble beginnings.
