我們的故事

關於我們

我們透過遍及國際紡織與時尚產業的廣大合作關係網路,強調澳大利亞羊毛作為終極天然纖維與奢侈服裝主要成分的地位。Woolmark標誌是全世界認可度與受尊敬度最高的品牌之一,提供了最高品質的保證,代表著從農場到成品的開創性與革新。

Woolmark公司是澳大利亞羊毛發展有限公司(Australian Wool Innovation)的子公司,後者是一家非營利企業,專門代表其出資者——約60,000家羊毛生產商——進行澳大利亞羊毛全球供應鏈的研發與行銷。

1964年,著名的Woolmark符號問世,其目的在於為所有放上該符號的羊毛產品(超過50億件)提供獨立的品質保證。目前Woolmark品牌已經成為世界上最知名的紡織品品質與羊毛含量標籤。作為羊毛的世界權威,Woolmark公司與所有層級的紡織與時裝產業合作發展更優質的羊毛織物,並推動消費者需求。Woolmark公司與時尚圈的關係也使我們有能力培養出時尚設計的新秀。

1930年代,世界上幾個最大的羊毛生產國認為將他們的產品推向國際是產業發展的重要目標。澳大利亞接下了這份重責大任,1936年,羊毛生產商投票決定對每捆產品徵收6便士的稅款,用於進行研究與推廣。接著1937年7月1日成立了國際羊毛宣傳研究局,不久後改名為國際羊毛局(International Wool Secretariat,IWS)。IWS的總部設於倫敦,到1950年代中期,在所有重要羊毛生產國都設了辦事處。

二次世界大戰期間出現了一個強勁的競爭對手──合成纖維;1960年代,尼龍、滌綸、壓克力纖維迅速成為家喻戶曉的名字。為了對抗非天然纖維的崛起,澳大利亞IWS總經理威廉.范納斯(William Vines)提出了一個想法,主張以一種獨特的標籤保證羊毛的纖維含量與品質。

到1970年前,澳大利亞飼養的綿羊創下了1.8億隻的紀錄,幾年之內,羊毛出口繼韓戰爆發以來首次超過了10億美元大關。就在澳大利亞沉醉於「騎在羊背上」的同時,1973年澳大利亞羊毛公司成立。這是一間旨在促進研究、推廣、行銷業務的市場導向機構。

1993年12月,澳大利亞羊毛研發促進機構(Australian Wool Research and Promotion Organisation ,AWRAP)成立。1994年,AWRAP和IWS的活動合併,成為一個由AWRAP管理的機構。1997年,IWS改名為Woolmark公司(TWC)。2001年,AWRAP改組為《公司法》上的公司,成為「澳大利亞羊毛服務有限公司」(AWS)。AWS是一間控股公司,旗下有「澳大利亞羊毛發展有限公司」(AWI)與TWC兩家子公司。

2002年,AWI脫離AWS,成為一間完全獨立的公司。AWI和TWC都保留了最初的責任──AWI負責投資研發計畫,TWC負責推廣澳大利亞羊毛以及Woolmark與其他相關品牌的商業發展。2007年,AWI向AWS收購了TWC與Woolmark品牌。此後由AWI負責研發、行銷並提供產業服務。TWC則繼續在國際上推廣著名的Wookmark標誌。

A Luxury Fibre

Wool has been cherished for millennia for its remarkable properties and timeless elegance. Originating in Spain, Merino sheep were renowned for their exceptionally fine and soft wool. Introduced to Australia in 1797, Merino wool underwent a transformative evolution as Australian farmers, driven by a passion for excellence, selectively bred sheep to produce an even finer and more luxurious fibre.

Today, Australian Merino wool is celebrated for its unrivalled softness, superior fineness and luxurious quality. Each fibre carries a legacy of craftsmanship and innovation, blending time-honoured expertise with modern advancements to offer unparalleled comfort and performance. .
