Spunaloy is a story of pioneering, commitment to excellence and innovation serving industry across Australia as well as overseas. These industries including gear manufacturers, general engineering, mining, shipping and sugar refining and many others. Spunaloy was Founded by Ray Davy when he moved his family from Western Sydney to Ourimbah, buying 25 acres in in 1949. He was a highly skilled hands-on engineer who dedicated himself to perfecting the centrifugal casting process paving the way for a successful foundry business that continues today. When he retired in 1982 his son Warren who had been working with him in the business purchased the business and continued operating it until his retirement in 2007 when long time employee Darryl Neil and his wife Francis Neil acquired the business. Under Mr Neil’s leadership Spunaloy grew into a trusted name ion the industry as he continued and nurtured the culture of quality, integrity and innovation that Ray Davy instilled in the business. In 2008, fresh out of high school Darryl Neil’s son Joseph joined the Spunaloy team and completed his apprenticeship and continued with the business buying it from his father in 2023 on his retirement. This seamless transition secured the company’s future and ensured its legacy would continue under his leadership with his wife Farlie. Spunaloy’s success supplying spun castings made from bronze, aluminium bronze, phosphor bronze, leaded bronze and gunmetal has been due to their specialising in custom work where most jobs are one-off or two-off orders and is the only company in Australia and New Zealand with that capacity and expertise.
