After nearly 60 years involvement with the iconic, South Australian-based family wool business Michell Pty Ltd, fourth generation family member John Michell has officially retired from his position as company chairman. Australian government and business dignitaries were among those who attended an intimate function at the Art Gallery of South Australia to pay tribute to John Michell and acknowledge the enormous impact he has had on the highly competitive textile industry.
WOOL processor Michell has changed dramatically since brothers David and Peter Michell took over the reins of the family's original wool division in June, 2004.
Following a proud tradition of environmental responsibility set by Michell Pty Ltd’s existing wool processing facility in Australia – Michell Suzhou, the specialist fibre company’s new state of the art processing plant in Wujiang City – is taking a clean and ‘green’ approach to business.
South Australian-based specialist fibre company Michell Pty Ltd has commenced production at its brand new A$10M wool processing plant in China – signalling the start of a new era for the 137 year old fifth-generation, family-owned organisation.
