This historic building sits half way between Sydney and Brisbane in the country town of Uralla. The Phoenix Foundry was initially an iron lace manufacturing plant but has since taken on many different roles during its time.
The foundry has survived two World Wars and the Depression to become the oldest
continuously operating foundry in Australia and is an overlooked piece of
Australian history. The Phoenix Foundry operates as a well-respected bronze
plaques supplier for Australian and overseas markets. The foundry combines
traditional craftsmanship and modern technology to produce pieces that are
treasured worldwide. Bronze is commonly used for artistic casting, in sculptures and art works throughout the world. Carl Merten is one of the area's most famous artists and he often works with the Phoenix Foundry in designing and producing pieces. Carl is highly respected for not just his abstract pieces but also for his knowledge in heraldry and military insignia. Carl and the Phoenix Foundry have recently cast the State Coats of Arms, which was installed in Parliament House. This has led to state recognition of the Phoenix Foundry. The foundry was awarded a high commendation in the Regional Exporter category at the Premier's NSW Export Awards.
The foundry is always expanding its product range and combining the use of leading edge technology with traditional foundry technique, which allows them to create original small and large-scale projects. The foundry's projects involve not just creative vision and skill but also vigilantly constructed manufacturing and logistics plans. A huge amount of planning is necessary for every stage of the design, manufacturing and transportation of the foundry's artworks.
