Redefining the Urban Landscape
Urban Group provides the systems and wraparound service to increase design options, performance, and customisation options in fencing.
We make it easier to design, specify, detail and install fencing that meets modern architectural aesthetics and stands the test of time. With a quality range of modular, customisable fencing systems, you have greater flexibility to meet project needs — across security, privacy, accessibility and aesthetics.
Bringing 40 years of experience, we’ve worked alongside designers, installers and developers to create smart, durable solutions for New Zealand homes and urban spaces. From high-performing systems to expert support, we’re here to help you select fencing products that deliver on the project vision.
What sets us apart
As the country’s largest aluminium fencing and gate manufacturer, we draw on three generations’ worth of engineering expertise and innovation. Investing substantially in both our people and our plant is what keeps us ahead.
End-to-end support
Our service starts with a wide range of high-quality products, followed by guidance on solutions to suit the architecture, function, and space requirements. We work with you through the life of the project: from scoping and design to engineering, fabrication, and construction.
Design Innovation
As fabricators, we are always prototyping and iterating, looking for better, more streamlined and cost-effective methods. Our design, tooling, and assembly is continually evolving, keeping pace with new ideas, methods, and technologies.
Manufactured here
Our aluminium fabrication plant in Levin is supported by our Auckland and Wellington logistics centres. Our scale means your projects are integrated and streamlined, with every part delivered to site as one co‑ordinated order.
