Our Story

Ethos

The history of The Woolmark Company is built on innovation. Initiated by Australian woolgrowers who recognised the need for a collective body to represent their fibre globally, The Woolmark brand represents a commitment between woolgrowers, brands and consumers on the authenticity and quality of the fibre that connects us.

Australian woolgrowers are constantly taking steps to improve their environmental and ethical practices, creating positive change through open and honest conversations. We work alongside Australia’s 60,000 woolgrowers to research, develop and market Australian wool and we encourage and unite the entire supply chain - from the farm through to loyal consumers - to adopt natural ingredients for a more sustainable future.

100% natural, renewable and biodegradable, Australian Merino wool is nature’s miracle fibre, offering a natural solution to the global apparel and footwear industry.
