Creswick Woollen Mills is the home of luxurious, natural fibre products designed in Australia to suit Australian conditions.
Some of the luxurious products produced at the Creswick Mill include Alpaca throws, scarves and blankets woven into sophisticated modern designs, summer weight open weave Alpaca blankets that have been designed for optimum comfort as well as 100% Australian Merino Wool and Plush Cotton blankets.
Other innovative products produced at the Creswick Mills include the Personal Protection Blankets for The Country Fire Authority (CFA) Victoria and the Rural Fire Service (RFS) New South Wales.
Creswick Woollen Mills was founded by in 1947 Polish migrant, Paul Ryzowy, and is now the only coloured woollen spinning mill of its type in Australia.
Over 50 Australian mills of this type have closed in the face of competition from cheap imports in recent years, but Creswick remains, employing over 30 people directly and a further 80 indirectly across Victoria through its contractors and suppliers.
Located in Creswick, a small township approximately 120km from Melbourne, north-east of Ballarat, Creswick Woollen Mills is the largest private employer in the region.
Boaz Herszfeld is now at the helm of the company under the benevolent eye of his grandfather, Paul Ryzowy, who is still active in the business at the age of 93.
Despite the rationalisation of the textile industry in recent times, the privately owned company remans buoyant, reinvesting for future sustainability.
Creswick’s continued success is attributed to ongoing research and innovation, as well as dedication to quality and an understanding that the Australian market appreciates exclusive designs and high quality.
