Statement of Significance

The former Pelaco shirt factory at 27 Gipps Street, Richmond, is significant at the State level both historically and socially. This significance stems from Pelaco's renown as Australia's best-known shirt manufacturer, and as a pioneer of apparel production systems in Australia. Pelaco's two factories on Richmond Hill also made the company a focus of life for seventy-five years. The factory at 27 Gipps Street is the site where time and motion studies were first systematically implemented in the industry.
