Administrative history
Davies Coop & Company began to produce shirts and pyjamas in 1925. The company branched out into knitting in 1928, cotton spinning in 1930 and cotton weaving in 1932. Further expansion took place in 1938 when the company established a mill to manufacture condenser yarn and tyre yarn for motor-tyre fabric. In 1938 they formed Davies Coop (Flax Industries) Pty Ltd to weave flax for tarpaulins, fire hoses and canvas. In 1969 Davies Coop & Company was taken over by Bradmill Industries Limited.
