Historical information

Willow Ware began as a partnership between Ralph and Richard Wilson in 1887. They established the Wilson Bros in 1889 in Flemington before moving to North Melbourne. Willow Ware Australia Pty Ltd is currently located in Tullamarine. It is a great example of a company that began operating from the backyard of the family home, and has grown into a company exporting to over fifty countries.
