More
than a million babies around the world in the last twenty
years can thank a young New Zealand mother for her wonderful
idea. She had seen long term hospital patients benefit from
lying on sheepskin bed pads, and felt that sheepskin might
help relieve the pain of her child who was in hospital with
a broken thigh. It worked. The sheepskin gave her child great
comfort and from that was born the idea that resulted in today's
Babycare lambskins.
The
mother then thought that newborn babies might benefit from
the security and comfort of a natural wool sleeper. She explained
her idea to Bowron. The Bowron researchers, in co-operation
with the Wool Research Organisation, began a four year development
programme to find the perfect lambskin for babies. After an
extensive testing program with the New Zealand Parents Centres
Inc, the Babycare lambskins went on sale in New Zealand and
Australia in 1970 and were an instant success. Today Babycare
lambskins are sought after by caring mothers all over the
world.
Bowron Rugs
As Christchurch grew, the small tannery, started in 1881 by the Bowron brothers, flourished and a family tradition of excellence in lambskin tanning began. Their commitment to quality has continued and over 100 years later, the team at Bowron continue to make the name "Bowron" synonymous with the world's finest sheepskin products.
To this day, every Bowron sheepskin is the perfect result of the same methods pioneered in the 1880's by the Bowron brothers from Yorkshire. Their unique 42 step tanning method has been constantly refined and now sits at the heart of the Bowron Sheepskin story. A story of unparalleled access to the finest raw materials available, cutting edge process innovation, environmental leadership, unrivalled manufacturing capacity, strong customer relationships, and a global distribution network that delivers the finest sheepskins to the very heart of world markets.
We select raw material from throughout the world, but believe the quality of our sheepskins owes much to our location in the midst of the world's finest flocks of lambs: the vast sheep stations of Australia's outback, and the high country runs and lush green pastoral farms of New Zealand. Our tannery in New Zealand is located in the vicinity of prime sheep farming areas, ensuring a plentiful source of high quality raw material and the best relationships with our suppliers. Our people are constantly in the plants where raw material is selected, purchasing directly at the source to reduce costs and training suppliers to select only materials that meet the needs of our customers.
Environmental Care
Traditionally the making of sheepskins was done at a cost to the environment with heavy water and chemical use. Today the Bowron closed loop process, cutting edge chemistry and advanced mechanical technology enable us to preserve the natural beauty of our sheepskins with minimal inputs and an ever-reducing impact on the environment. Regular audits prove time and again that we are industry leaders in the development of processes that put care for the environment alongside the quality of our products. We understand the demands of our consumers for environmental sensitivity in our processing because we require it also.
