About Austram
Originally known the coconut fiber-lined wire basket company,
Austram is continuing in 2017 to expand its patented fiber clay
pot category while, at the same time, re-expanding its core
coconut fiber and wire basket business along with its hard wire products.
Austram has gone through an organization change as well which brought a new and energetic leadership team to the 36-year-old company.
After the Durham, N.C., based company introduced the first coconut
fiber-lined planter to the American market in 1981,
the company expanded into multiple lines of wire baskets,
arbors, gazebos, metal benches, plant stands and garden hooks.
Three years ago, it launched into the fiber clay planter markets.
The first fiber clay planters that looked like ceramic
but were much lighter, color fast, able to stay outside all year and difficult to break.
For 2017 the company is expanding its fiber clay offerings by introducing
a couple new product groupings featuring new colors to their fiber clay planters.
Austram continues to strive to produce brand new looks in its entire product
lines each year. We are very excited about all of our new and revised products
being offered for 2017.
