About our company

A photo of a Possum Fur DuvetDawson Furs Ltd registered as a company in 1978 to buy, process and export Possum Skins.

Bruce Dawson and Paul Ernest were full time Trappers and Meat hunters in the Urewera National Park at the time. They decided to try to increase the returns for themselves and some of their trapping mates. The Company worked well for sometime exporting up to 400,000 skins per year until 1994, when the Animal Rights activism almost destroyed the industry.

During the late 80's - early 90's a great deal of pioneering work was done by Taumaranui Developments Incorporated, with Phyllis Huitema at the helm. They discovered a way to blend possum fur and merino wool to produce one of the warmest, lightest knitting yarn blends in the world market place. This created a whole new industry which in turn helped to reduce possum numbers in what was then an endemic TB area and a very economically depressed area as well.

Today we trade in skins and fur, and manufacture possum duvets, underlays and skin throws.

We operate Wildenz, which manufactures possum meat petfood, either raw or dry pelletized for our OMEGA brand.

With 34 years trading experience in the possum field, we are well qualified to help with any queries about our industry you may have.

Dink Bruce Dawson would be the only guy I would go to for best price on fur. He is like a rock, old and always there for you. He has given a lot of young fellas a start and a leg up.
