Queensland Cotton, through its predecessor, the Cotton Marketing Board, has been in operation in the cotton industry since 1921. In 1992 Queensland Cotton became a publicly listed company on the Australian Stock Exchange, and was de-listed in 2007, when Olam Australia Pty Ltd secured control of the company. Queensland Cotton’s marketing and trading philosophy remains unchanged throughout, continuing to be guided by the following principles:
Queensland Cotton is a major supplier of premium cotton to the world''s textile markets. Our company''s success is attributed to quality products, services and valued relationships with suppliers, growers and cotton spinners alike. These services include:
Our company operates eleven gins throughout Queensland and New South Wales with a total ginning capacity of over 1 million bales, and is constantly evaluating additional processing opportunities in both cotton producing states. With operations in Australia, Brasil and the United States, we are able to source cotton from the premium cotton growing regions of both northern and southern hemispheres. This enables us to deliver a quality product to the global market year round. Queensland Cotton is an expanding global commodity company and has recently commenced trading wheat, pulses, grains and wool under the Queensland Cotton umbrella.
