To continue the series of discussions about brands that we love or hate, I have added this new question specific to Aussie brands. Please mention which Aussie brands you love and also the Aussie brands which are doing well globally (though some could be less known to many people). Brands or companies would do. Let's go.. My vote for Bundaberg, Arnott's, Canva.

        Has Jackson Palmer renounced his Australian citizenship? Online news still reports him as an Aussie.

        wow, i still buy other uggs that are australian made and has the australia made triangle tag on them.
        i guess to look at the brighter side, i rather have the yanks takeover instead of the chinese. lol

    Are any truly Australian? Only use Australian made products? I bet something they use is imported?

    Not my fav brands per say, but one topic I do enjoy talking about!

    A few Aussie brands/orgs (past and presently owned) that have made amazing steps to become global players… Few that come to mind, and have seen during my travels around the world! Always puts a smile on my face and reminds me of home when I see the logos…

    TNT
    Boral
    BHP
    Ansett :(
    Westfield
    Macquarie
    Penfolds
    Speedo
    Lend Lease
    Breville
    Billabong
    CSIRO

    Edit: now I keep thinking of more!
    Guess I should credit Qantas also, just don't always agree with the company direction.
    Cochlear
    Woods Bagot
    Cotton On
    Worley
    Akubra
    Driza Bone
    The vast wine producers who export globally (regardless of quality) - Brown Brothers, Casella, Treasury etc…

    • GG57 on 26/08/2021 - 11:46

      Did you never see any Aust banks in your travels? Or accounting firms?

      • mickyb80 on 26/08/2021 - 11:55

        Around Oceania, yes. But to in the same sense as those above.
        At 1am, I pictured myself at the airport then going through a quick mental walk when OS in a few locations.
        Planes -> duty-free -> to a hotel-> shopping -> walk around a CBD etc, then a few days around a city and back.

        When thinking of an Asian, Euro or US destination, not seeing AU banks. (Macquarie was listed as per their investment arm and large amount of takeovers and investments in offshore projects over the past few years).

        Woods, Worley, Lend Lease, Boral etc for their involvement in many projects around the world and/or ownership of OS subsidiaries.

        CSIRO, Cochlear - obvious reasons I feel. WiFi, Hearing etc….

        Others - 'brands' in shops, or shopping centres etc. :)

        Banks, WBC, NAB, CBA, ANZ etc. really only within the Oceania islands.

    • dust on 26/08/2021 - 09:16

      Doing well overseas?

  • haydoz on 26/08/2021 - 08:05

    Fosters

    • GG57 on 26/08/2021 - 11:48

      Not Australian owned any more?
      Regardless, it was always more popular overseas than domestically.

  • plmko on 26/08/2021 - 09:13

    Atomos and Blackmagic

    No-one mention Kogan?

    • virhlpool on 26/08/2021 - 11:49

      and Virgin too! Proudly Aussie born.

        Might be news to Richard Branson.

        • virhlpool on 26/08/2021 - 13:36

          Sorry, my bad. I was referring to Virgin Australia (airline). Branson would defo be happy if he realizes he owns the majority shares in it.

      • mickyb80 on 27/08/2021 - 21:41

        Yeah, nar… Not even VA is Aussie…!

    • JimB on 27/08/2021 - 10:14

      I'm not saying that Kogan is a good business model, but I doubt the public is proud of Kogan or that they are doing well oversea.

      Many people actively avoid Kogan where there's an alternative.

      • virhlpool on 27/08/2021 - 10:40

        I avoid it for the simple reason that I rarely find it to be the cheapest. eBay or Amazon often have better deals.

      • GG57 on 27/08/2021 - 13:28
        +1

        Yeah, it was a tongue-in-cheek suggestion.
        But, you cannot dispute how successful Kogan has become.

        • JimB on 27/08/2021 - 14:22

          I admire how well Kogan has done but not their business practice.
