FORMATION OF WISS

Formed in 1979 by woolgrowers, WISS is a grower owned and controlled Woolbroker. Major decisions on the company are made at the Annual General Meeting or special convened meetings where all member growers have an equal vote. WISS is managed by qualified specialist contractors offering a complete range of woolbroking services.

To provide absolute financial security WISS has incorporated a WOOLGROWERS TRUST ACCOUNT, into which the proceeds of all wool sold are paid.

All profits are returned to woolgrower members in the form of an annual per bale rebate.
