In an era where the security of national infrastructure has never been more crucial, Lochrin Bain stands at the forefront of innovation in utility fencing. With a history that dates back over a century, we have transitioned from developing the very first steel palisade fence to leading the industry with cutting-edge solutions that are designed to thwart the sophisticated threats posed by todays criminals and other adversaries.
A Legacy of Innovation
Our journey began over 100 years ago with the patenting of the very first steel palisade fence, a landmark innovation that set the standard for security fencing. The early 20th-century advert shown below showcases one of the country’s first substations secured by Lochrin Palisade and serves as a testament to the company’s longstanding commitment to protecting critical national infrastructure (CNI). This rich heritage is the very foundation upon which Lochrin Bain has built its future.
