Maximise your wool returns with Techwool Trading
TECHWOOL Trading has been proudly helping Australian wool growers market their wool across the globe for over 40 years.
Today, the company remains 100 per cent Australian family-owned and operated and is Australia’s largest and most well-connected wool exporter.
Supporting Australian wool growers year in year out is top priority at Techwool, with the team going above and beyond to help optimise profitability in spite of market challenges.
In the face of rising domestic costs and a relatively static wool market, Techwool continues to update wool growers on strategies to enhance their bottom line.
One such strategy is to maximise returns by selling wool direct for export.
As Australia’s largest wool exporter, Techwool is always looking to offer competitive prices to purchase wools directly against export orders.
Techwool can offer the most competitive prices as they exclusively operate out of Techwool owned facilities, with a large focus on internalising costs to maximise wool grower returns.
Direct for export selling also helps growers optimise cash flow, with quick pricing and payment turnaround, minimising risk by capturing a market price immediately rather than waiting on a volatile auction market.
Another avenue for wool growers looking for optimal returns is increasing bale weights in the shed, which can help reduce costs and increase market premiums.
Hamilton Wool Manager Jordan Murphy explains “costs for growers are always rising, one way to maximise returns per kg is to press bales out to 175 to 200kg”.
“Heavier bales will reduce costs per kg for carting, testing and broker handling, whilst ensuring exporters are not discounting wools due to high cost of exporting per kg,” he said.
“It’s a small difference that adds up over time.”
Techwool’s Jordan Murphy and Mark Gibbs offer prompt pricing for large and small operations, direct export pricing, and even cost-effective brokerage for those who want to auction their wool.
Techwool tests wool locally to keep costs to a minimum and maximise returns.
