Our facilities allow us to control the whole manufacturing process from manufacture of mesh, fabrication of steel and tube components, powdercoating, and distribution via our own transport fleet.

Our sales and production staff have amassed a collective of hundreds of years of experience in the fencing, steel, galvanising and powdercoating industries. All of which ensures the best possible advice and service to our customers.

History

Protective fencing was established in 1975 by Craig Gibbens, as the latest venture into the wire industry by the Gibbens family.

The original business was focused on supply and installation of chainwire security fencing and was succesfull in many commercial, industrial and government fencing projects across NSW.

Further expansion in the 80’s saw the addition of manufacture and hire of temporary fencing systems, mainly on the central coast in NSW.

In 2005 Protective Fencing had finally out grown it’s premises at Gosford and relocated to a new, purpose built manufacturing facility at Somersby. This change of location also marked a change of direction for the company with the exit of all remaining contracting activities and the new focus was totally manufacturing and distribution to the wider fencing industry.

Manufacturing of Fencing products has continued to influence the growth of Protective over the following years with the introduction of new machinery and the acquisition of several companies to enhance and expand our capabilities.

These developments have seen us emerge as PROTECTIVE GROUP and established the company as one of the largest Australian manufacturers of chainwire and welded wire mesh to the fencing industry.

CAPABILITIES

Protective Group have a vast array of equipment, enabling us to manufacture standard and custom products for the fencing, mining, fabrication, safety and rural markets.

In addition to our manufacturing capabilities Protective have a highly experienced team with many years industry knowledge to assist and advise with any fencing, mesh and guarding enquiries.

To ensure the best possible sevice to our customers, Protective has it’s own fleet of delivery vehicles ensuring products are delivered on time and to the highest quality.
