When German sock maker Max Lindner proudly opened the Lindner Strumpf Fabrik factory in 1921 in Chemnitz, the town of Crookwell would have been the furthest thing from his mind.
But it's where his great-grandson Andrew runs Lindner Socks out of today and the business has just won the Australian Made Small Business Excellence category at the Australian Rural Business Awards in June.
They also finished third in the Retailers Excellence and Excellence in e-Commerce categories.
