Since its Australian launch in 2015, Factory Direct Shop has championed local whenever possible. Founder Kevin Doyle's vision extended beyond just competitive pricing; he recognized the importance of supporting the Australian economy. Factory Direct Shop prioritizes sourcing a significant portion of its vast product range, from tools and hardware to home improvement essentials, directly from trusted Australian suppliers. This commitment to local sourcing isn't just about patriotism; it fosters a focus on quality and shorter transportation distances, potentially reducing their environmental impact. By keeping dollars circulating within Australia, Factory Direct Shop plays a vital role in strengthening the domestic market while still offering competitive prices through a strategic global sourcing approach. This balanced approach – prioritizing local suppliers when possible while maintaining affordability – is a cornerstone of Factory Direct Shop's positive impact on the Australian business landscape.
