The Queensland Woollen Manufacturing Company established at North Ipswich in 1877 purchased the East Ipswich Woollen Mill and the two mills became known as Australian Fabric Manufacturers. The manufacturing of woollen fabric was carried out at the East Ipswich site and the North Ipswich site held the head office.
