Creswick
Woollen Mills was founded by in 1947 Polish migrant,
Paul Ryzowy, and is now the only coloured woollen spinning
mill of its type in Australia.
Over 50 Australian mills of this type have
closed in the face of competition from cheap
imports in recent years, but Creswick remains,
employing over 30 people directly and a further 80 indirectly across
Victoria through its contractors and suppliers.
 Located in Creswick, a small township approximately
120km from Melbourne, north-east of Ballarat,
Creswick Woollen Mills is the largest private
employer in the region.
Boaz Herszfeld is now at the helm of the company
under the benevolent eye of his grandfather,
Paul Ryzowy, who is still active in the business
at the age of 93.
Despite the rationalisation of the textile
industry in recent times, the privately owned
company remans buoyant, reinvesting for future
sustainability.
Creswick’s
continued success is attributed to ongoing
research and innovation, as well as dedication
to quality and an understanding that the Australian
market appreciates exclusive designs and high
quality.
