Products
Our main products are wool tops, noils (blousse), greasy wool and scoured wool, from the extra-fine 17 mic through 33 mic, which we export to the leading world markets: China, Taiwan, the European Union, the United Kingdom, Turkey, Mexico, Peru, Uruguay, among others.
CERTIFIED PRODUCTS
In addition to conventional wool, we have the following certifications audited by the International Agricultural Organization (OIA):
Global Organic Textile Standard – GOTS: This type of certification means that, for the production of the top, the environmental impact has been reduced to the minimum possible, given that the chemical products used both in the field where the animal is raised, as well as in its food and also during the industrial process are controlled.

Responsible Wool Standard – RWS: This certification guarantees the five basic freedoms of sheep:
- Free from hunger and thirst
- Disease free
- Free from discomfort, injury and pain
- Free to have normal behavior
- Free from fear and anguish
As well as the social well-being, and working conditions of the workers involved in the production chain and in all stages of the trade. View certificate >
IVN BEST: Ccommonly called BEST, it is known mainly in Europe.
Since 2000, BEST has included the guidelines for sustainable textiles on the basis of the definitions of ecology and social responsibility formulated by the Internationalen Verband der Naturtextilwirtschaft e. V. (IVN), applied to the entire textile production chain. Since BEST represents the highest production level currently achievable, only a limited number of products can meet this qualification.
We also promote and market wool produced with Regenerative Farming practices, OVIS 21, which proposes a productive model that cares for regenerating the environment, and that also promotes the development of the people who depend on it. View certificate >
