It’s how we supply that makes the difference.
How
By acting as a facilitator and not as a trader or processor. By charging a fee for service and not taking a margin.
Why
We operate in this manner so we can remain completely independent of all parties in the supply chain.
What
The difference being that we act solely in the interest of the retail brand and without any bias or conflict of interest.
A New Approach to Supply
3rd Party Sourcing
A pro-active & specialised service
Our focus is to provide expertise, create efficiency and supply certainty for brands and their spinners.
Three Simple Steps for Retail Brands
Step 1.
Inform & Introduce
- Provide us with an outline of your product categories, volumes and time-frames.

Step 2.
Advise
Advise your spinner that:
- you are working with NewMerino® to provide a totally transparent supply chain.
- you will require NewMerino® Transaction Certificates.
- NewMerino® will be selecting and verifying the farmers from which the wool is to be sourced.
Step 3.
Working Together
We are now on your team, working with your processing partners to ensure that your merino products will be:
- Authentic
- Ethically managed
- Sustainably produced
- Fully Traceable
- 100% Australian merino
Here's what we will do for you.

This report will:
- Confirms supply chain partners
- Confirm the attributes required

Select supply
- Identify and communicate with suitably qualified farmers.
