Master Dyer

Professional dyer Tony Stefanovski has a Bachelor of Applied Science from RMIT and has worked in textile colour laboratories for 26 years.

He first worked as an assistant at Calum Textiles, which amalgamated with CDA to form Austrim where he became a senior technician. When Austrim was liquidated, he worked for Melba Industries becoming a laboratory manager for about six years. Both Austrim and Melba fell victim, at different times, to the shrinking Australian textile industry.

Tony was appointed to the position of Dyer at the ATW in September 2009.
