S. Heller Enterprises was established in 1975 by Robert and Stephanie Heller
in Melbourne Australia.
It was a time when the only local Stump Sock producer has just gone out of
business, which left the Australian consumer with one choice and that was the
imported sock which was then (and now for that matter) ridiculously
expensive.
So the Australian Department of Veterans' Affairs in Canberra has set out to
find a new Australian manufacturer for its' supply of Stump Socks.
Enter the Hellers. With their vast knowledge in the knitting field and
professional expertise with knitting machines, combined with some valuable
inside contacts within the Australian wool industry, happily welcomed the
new challenge of manufacturing an All Australian Stump Sock under the brand name
'HELLER'.
Robert and Stephanie Heller did a great job not only in the design and
manufacture of the HELLER stump sock, but they also made sure it was affordable
without having to compromise on quality.
In a
short period of time their Stump Socks were selling at neighboring countries such as
Singapore and Hong Kong.
More then a quarter of a century later the Heller legacy and tradition
continue. What had
started as a new and small family business is now a well established and still
very much a family business.
Robert and Stephanie's daughter Naomi together with her husband
Ellie have been at the helm for many years now and continue today to produce the
'HELLER' stump sock.

truly the best in the world. Now you probably think we are biased, but rest
assured, we don't make this claim lightly. there are many factors to help substantiate
this claim. Here are just some of them:
