From May 19–25, ‘Australian Made Week’ will put the spotlight firmly on local manufacturing — giving timber and hardware retailers a major opportunity to showcase Australian-made products, connect with customers and celebrate the businesses, suppliers and communities that keep Australian industry strong.

This year’s campaign encourages Australians to “buy Aussie” and back local makers, manufacturers and growers, with Australian comedian and television personality Andy Lee leading the national promotion.

For independent timber and hardware retailers, the message strongly aligns with what customers increasingly value, including trusted local products, reliable supply chains and support for Australian jobs and communities.

The iconic green and gold Australian Made logo remains one of the country’s most recognised symbols of quality and local manufacturing. Australian Made Week gives retailers the perfect platform to promote:

• Australian-grown and manufactured timber 
• Locally made building materials 
• Australian-made tools, paints and hardware products 
• Suppliers supporting regional jobs and manufacturing 

The campaign also creates exciting promotional opportunities through:

• In-store displays and signage 
• Social media campaigns 
• Catalogues and promotions 
• Supplier demonstrations and trade engagement 

At a time when local manufacturing and supply chain reliability matter more than ever, Australian-made products offer a strong point of difference for both trade and DIY customers.

For the timber and hardware industry, Australian Made Week is your  chance to proudly showcase the strength of Australian manufacturing while reinforcing the value of supporting local industry, local jobs and local communities.
