Thompson Pty Ltd before later adopting the kookaburra bird as its emblem. Initially focused on cricket balls, Kookaburra quickly gained recognition for consistency and durability, and by the mid-20th century their balls had become the standard in Australian Test matches. Over time, the company expanded into bats, protective gear, and apparel, solidifying its place as a complete cricket equipment manufacturer trusted worldwide.
