Established in 1950, Geraldton Fishermen's Co-operative (GFC) was formed by a small group of Western Australian rock lobster fishermen who sought to cut out the middle man and take control of their own future. Over the past 70+ years GFC has grown to become the largest rock lobster exporter in the world and one of Australia’s largest and most successful co-operatives.

GFC is 100% owned by fishermen and license holders supplying the Co-operative, and is operated for the benefit of members. GFC members have a direct stake in the financial success of the company and a deep pride in the famous Brolos brand, motivating them to catch and produce the best rock lobster product possible.
