American Fence Company is an American fence manufacturer based in Arizona.[1][2]
History
[edit]American Fence Company was founded in 1948 in Arizona by J.P Van Denburgh and his wife Betty Van Denburgh.[3] The company later divided into two divisions: The American Fence Co., managed by John Van Denburgh III, which focused on the retail and rental sectors, and American Tube & Pipe Co., the manufacturing division overseen by David Van Denburgh.[4] By 1997, The American Fence Co. had expanded to 32 branches west of the Mississippi River.[4]
In 1997, American Fence sold 75 percent of its ownership and allocated approximately $6 million toward technology upgrades, including the implementation of systems from J.D. Edwards based in Denver.[4] During the same year, the company initiated efforts to incorporate technology into its retail and rental operations.[4] A two-year project was undertaken to standardize business operations and integrate modern technology across eight sites, enabling automated fence measurements and construction planning.[4]
In 2016, American Fence Company was awarded the Patriotic Employer Award by the Department of Defense.[5]
