Pillars
YOUR PARTNERS IN WOOL
Independent
AWP is staunchly independent. In local hands, we provide an outstanding service where client confidentiality and competitiveness are paramount. It also allows us to continue to extract wool grease as a by-product, its usage in cosmetics and pharmaceuticals – for example, Vitamin D3 – a valuable export earner.
Customer Focused
Our enviable industry heritage, coupled with a reputation for innovation, has helped us cultivate a deep understanding of our customers and their exacting needs, allowing us to provide them with a world-class service characterised by consistent fibre quality and agile response times, at globally competitive prices.
Environmentally Responsible
Our home-based service is authentically Australian, backed by a legacy of quality and a commitment to responsible and environmentally ethical production. We align with grower sustainability goals and animal welfare standards while offering full transparency and integrity throughout the supply chain to ensure an ethical sourcing pathway.
Boutique Small Runs
While AWP certainly offers capacity – wool scouring at 10,000 tonnes per annum and wool carbonising at 12,000 tonnes per annum – our independence and sovereign status gives us a customer focus that caters for boutique small runs, adding a desirable touch of exclusivity to the product’s allure.
TEAM
Generations of Wool KNOW-HOW
AWP Sales Manager Jim Robinson most recently served as the owner and head of second-generation family business and wool processor, Geelong-based EP Robinson.
With some four decades of industry experience, Jim began developing his wool expertise as a wool trader before moving into the family business and transforming the company from an ageing carbonising plant to an Australian leader in commission wool scouring and carbonising, as well as a trendsetter in positioning raw wool grease as a valuable by-product.
Jim is a world-renowned expert and innovator in early-stage wool processing, where his knowledge has been further honed by working with some of the leading wool processors across the world, always striving to provide outstanding client service and the best quality product.
