#AustralianMade is the way to go!

In light of it being Australian Made Week, we thought it would be a good opportunity to highlight the benefits of purchasing products that are Australian made! If each household spent an additional $10 a week on Australian Made products, it would inject an extra $5 billion into the economy each year and create up to 11,000 new jobs, according to the Roy Morgan Research. Isn’t that incredible!

After an extremely challenging year and a half for all Australian businesses, there has never been a more important time to support businesses that promote quality, Australian made products. Alternate options, such as overseas imported products, come with extreme lead times partnered with compromised quality for a cheap price. This means that the lead time for furniture items can be up to 14 weeks or even longer due to Covid-19 circumstances and once those items have finally arrived, the quality and reassurance of the product is never certain.

Astra Street Furniture is extremely proud of the fact that all Astra furniture products are 100% Australian made, and are manufactured using sustainably sourced materials with premium quality. Astra has conducted extensive research and development to ensure that all furniture pieces that are designed and manufactured are of the highest quality and service the many requirements from our ongoing customer base.

The main points of difference of our furniture suites in comparison to overseas supplies include:

• All Astra Furniture items are manufactured in Australia from sustainably sourced raw materials, which ensure extra quality,
• The entire range has been and is continued to be designed, manufactured, and assembled locally here in Australia,
• Standard products are held in large stock quantities meaning there are short lead times of 1-3days maximum, and
• Custom orders are designed and manufactured locally to the client’s specifications with a quick turn-around period of 1-4 weeks

It is important to remember when you are purchasing Australian Made products, you are directly supporting Australian Companies and their employees. Spread the awareness for the need to continue supporting Australian Made companies and products today!
