Every day, thousands of metres of carpet are produced in our facilities in Australia and New Zealand, and both our carpet and hard flooring are supplied across Australia and New Zealand and around the globe.
We proudly operate four carpet manufacturing facilities, three yarn processing facilities, 10 distribution centres, and 14 sales offices across Australia and New Zealand through our Godfrey Hirst operations. Currently, Godfrey Hirst employs over 1,000 people, of which roughly half are employed in Australia and the rest in New Zealand.
Our local investment in people, manufacturing, warehousing and distribution provides total supply chain capability, ensuring quality control and consistency from product design, right through to delivery. We are proud to have a loyal and long serving inclusive and diverse workforce while managing organisational renewal to ensure excellent mix of new thinking and deep knowledge.
Through our Godfrey Hirst operations, we are privileged to draw on over 150 years of manufacturing experience in Australia and New Zealand. The Godfrey Hirst name is truly synonymous with Geelong, dating back to 1865 when the Victorian Woollen and Cloth Manufacturing company was established as one of Victoria’s first textile mills.
Taking real climate action as an organisation means voluntarily going above and beyond current regulations to achieve net zero carbon emissions. We are proud to be a part of a Climate Active Carbon Neutral organisation status through our Godfrey Hirst operations and are proud to be the first Australian carpet manufacturer to do so. Furthermore, Godfrey Hirst New Zealand is also now a carbon neutral organisation.
Investing in innovation and technology is the hallmark of GH Commercial, and when it comes to improving existing systems and processes, our commitment to excellence is continually at the forefront.
