Platypus fishing lines was started by George Ross McPherson in 1898. George was a Scottish rope maker by trade and saw the opportunity to make fishing line in Australia. Within a few years, the popularity and reputation of Platypus grew and the business expanded. Recognised in the plastics industry as an authority on Nylon monofilament extrusion, Platypus produces many products other than fishing line, from hi-tech fibres for mining and medical applications to bristles for brushes. Unlike so many other Australian cultural icons, Platypus is still based in Brisbane, Australia over 100 years later. Platypus remains proudly owned and operated by the same family that established the company in 1898.
