Bremworth joins 20 other wool industry members to transition towards sourcing their wool from 6800 accredited sheep farms across NZ that meet the standards set by the NZFAP.

By signing up to NZFAP, Bremworth can prove its wool has met traceability, authentic origin and animal welfare standards.

Chief executive Paul Alston says “our long-term vision is to be a global leader in designing and creating desirable, high-performing, safe and sustainable interior products”.

“Ensuring that this starts on the farm is very important to our business and we look forward to working with New Zealand’s wool growers to build a successful future for the New Zealand wool industry,” Alston said.

“NZFAP provides value-chain assurances we need around land management, origin, traceability, animal health and welfare,” National Council of New Zealand Wool Interests chair Craig Smith said.

“We now have 21 New Zealand wool companies and 6800 certified wool growers across key points in the supply chain signed up and we expect more to follow. We welcome Bremworth to this important programme.”

Bremworth has commenced sourcing NZFAP accredited wool and is transitioning towards sourcing 100% of their wool from accredited sources.
