International products are readily available but Australian made products are still the smarter choice.

Customers are now more educated than ever and are looking for transparency and high quality, Australian Made products. Why are products made in Australia often more expensive than imported products? Raw materials such as Australian Made glass can cost up to 4 times as much as glass from China, and wages are much higher in Australia than in many countries. Paying a fair wage and offering career paths for staff are very important at Paarhammer as the growth of the company relies on the skills and commitment of the team.  

Proud to be an Australian company

“Australian Made products are made to some of the highest manufacturing and safety standards in the world. They are trusted, and known for their quality and reliability,” said Lazzaro.
