It’s how we supply that makes us unique.
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
Our purpose is to assist retail brands.
Our focus is to create ease, efficiency and supply certainty.
Three Simple Steps for Retail Brands
Step 1
Make the decision to engage in a managed supply chain.
- Provide us with an outline of your product categories, volumes and time-frames
- Introduce us to your preferred spinner and knitter or weaver.
Step 2
- Advise your spinner* that your are working with NewMerino® to provide a totally transparent supply chain.
- That you will require NewMerino® Transaction Certificates.
- That NewMerino® will be selecting and verifying the farmers from which the wool is to be sourced
* or your first point of contact in your supply chain
Step 3
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 - and you will be able to prove it.
