About us

At Woolmark, we’re more than a brand – we’re the global authority on wool. With a legacy of research, innovation and storytelling for more than 60 years.

 

OUR STORY

In 1936, visionary woolgrowers made a bold decision: to unite and bring wool to the far corners of the globe, from shearing sheds to Parisian runways. This ambition laid the groundwork for Woolmark’s creation in 1964, driven by a spirit of exploration, quality and collaboration to elevate wool’s story and future.

Today, Woolmark carries this legacy forward, shaping wool’s journey through research, innovation and a commitment to connecting woolgrowers, brands and citizens. Anchored by quality, Woolmark is where tradition meets innovation, advancing wool as a natural, circular fibre for generations to come.
