Nature’s Influence

We draw inspiration from the colours, forms and textures of nature and it is these elements that are reflected in our products. Our goal is to bring the luxury of nature into homes and daily life.

Sustainability

Sustainability is at the core of everything we do. We’re committed to reducing our environmental footprint and continually refining our manufacturing to ensure a more sustainable future. Every step is carefully considered to support eco-friendly practices.

Integrity & Fairness

Integrity and honesty are very important to our business and this creates a fair and mutually beneficial environment for our partners and customers alike. We respect the values of community, hard work and honesty, which underpin every facet of our business.

Innovative Design

Our approach to design is thoughtful and engaging. Our products not only exude style, but also offer a soft touch, unmatched feel and exceptional functionality. We create products that seamlessly blend nature’s beauty with modern living.

Our heritage

Founded in 1992 by three college friends, the Auskin Group of Companies has grown into a trusted global supplier of sheepskin and natural fibre products. With roots in New Zealand and early ties to a long-established tannery, Auskin was built on a shared vision: to combine quality natural materials with responsible manufacturing and strong client partnerships.

In 1997, the company expanded its operations by establishing its own tannery in China, enabling greater control over production quality, consistency and scalability. This move laid the foundation for a vertically integrated model that continues to support our clients around the world today.

Auskin is privately owned and has worked for over 30 years to build a global presence, with offices, showrooms and warehousing facilities across Australia, New Zealand, the United States, Europe, China and Japan.

We proudly supply a broad mix of customers, including global retailers, national retail chains, independent home and gift retailers, manufacturers and regional distributors. Our ability to meet the demands of these diverse clients is grounded in decades of industry experience and a commitment to quality, reliability and service.

Natural Gas Transition – We have replaced coal with natural gas to reduce emissions
Recycled Packaging & Fills – Fills, labels, packaging & shipping materials are made from recycled materials wherever possible
Eco-Friendly Logistics – Favouring sea freight over air; optimised trucking routes
Biodegradable Products – Wool and sheepskin naturally break down over time, unlike synthetic materials
Microplastic-Free – Sheepskins are natural alternatives to the synthetic fibres that pollute land and sea
