 About NZ Possums

The Brushtail Possum is an animal introduced from Australia and found only in Australia and New Zealand. The species is protected in Australia, however, in New Zealand they have become a major ecological problem, especially as there is no natural predator to keep them in balance with the ecosystem. Seventy million possums eat their way through about 20,000 tonnes of native herbage each night.

Snowy Peak Ltd has led the way for New Zealand's major ecological disaster, in becoming a multi million dollar industry generating employment in regions of New Zealand where unemployment had been well entrenched. Our now globally renowned luxuryMERINOMINKTM brand creates the most beautiful light, soft and durable fabrics and knitted garments.

The Brushtail Possum fibre in Merinomink has a unique hollow structure. This gives it a high warmth to weight ratio, creating a warm and comfortable garment without bulk. Merinomink not only gives a wonderfully soft handle, but prevents pilling (rubbing) and washes extremely well. 

The possum story is an example of the whole-system approach to business in harmony with natural New Zealand that helps create a better quality life for today's generation and tomorrow's.
