Celebrating Australian Made 2025 – series launch

Today we begin our fifth Celebrating Australian Made editorial series, coinciding with Australian Made Week 2025 (which runs May 19 – 25.) 

As has happened each May* since 2021, there is Australian Made Week – a celebration of goods made here, their makers, and the value of supporting them – and there is a Celebrating Australian Made series at @AuManufacturing.

According to the series sponsor, the Australian Made Campaign, if each household in the nation spent $10 more a week on Australian Made products, it would inject an extra $5.6 billion into the national economy and create roughly 10,000 new jobs.

Communicating the value of local manufacture to an audience choosing to visit a website dedicated to Australian manufacturing news may be an exercise in preaching to the choir, but we’re happy to do it. It’s part of why this title exists.

And so, once again, we will spend a fifth Australian Made Week profiling local makers. Each is, in their own way, engaged in the important work of ensuring this country remains “a country that makes things”, as certain politicians enjoy saying. The “things” this time around include gear for training up-and-coming electricians, access ladders, stainless steel construction products, and more.

Our thanks to the Australian Made Campaign Limited, the licensor of the Australian Made logo, for commissioning this week-long editorial series.

The famous Australian Made, Australian Grown (AMAG) logo is the true mark of Aussie authenticity. It’s Australia’s most trusted, recognised and widely used country of origin symbol, and is underpinned by a third-party accreditation system, which ensures products that carry the logo are certified as “genuinely Australian”.

*With the exception of 2022, when AM Week ran June 6 – 12.
