RM Williams expands Adelaide site with new leather workshop
Australian bootmaker RM Williams has opened a second workshop at its northern Adelaide site, increasing production capacity by 90 per cent since Tattarang acquired the company in 2020. 

The new 20,000 square metre facility, named Bushman’s Base, brings the company’s total Adelaide footprint to 29,500 square metres.

Bushman’s Base houses craft and clothing workshops, the boot repair service, and a new in-house leather wallet production line, bringing specialist leather work under one roof for the first time. The expansion strengthens the company’s ability to meet global demand while maintaining traditional leather craftsmanship.

Dr Andrew Forrest AO (pictured), owner of Tattarang and RM Williams said the expansion helps “pass on skills and ensure every pair of RM boots is a piece of homegrown excellence.”
