That means there are now 2000 businesses, with some 15,000 products that consumers can search for on the Australian Made Campaign’s online directory at www.australianmade.com.au.
“The Australian Made Campaign is a collective effort to brand genuine Aussie products in Australia and markets all over the world – the more businesses involved, the stronger the impact, Australian Made Campaign chief executive, Ian Harrison, said.
“This milestone carries an important message – being Aussie is good for business.”
Shamir Australia general manager, Paul Stacey, accepted a commorative certificate from Australian Made on behalf of the organisation.
“We are proud to manufacture our lenses in Australia, using cutting-edge technology and highly-skilled technicians, for some of the largest optical retailers in Australia and New Zealand. We also have a strong phasis on supporting the smaller Australian independent businesses.” Mr Stacey said.
“The Australian Made logo is a symbol for excellence in manufacturing, commitment to local jobs and local reinvestment, so it is a great fit for our brand.”
The AMAG logo has been helping businesses to clearly identify their products as Australian, and at the same time providing consumers with a highly recognised and trusted symbol for genuine Aussie products and produce, for nearly thirty years.
The green-and-gold Australian Made, Australian Grown (AMAG) logo is the only registered country-of-origin certification tradark for genuine Australian products and produce.
