Sheep, wool sorting, and quality analysis.

Your wool can be turned into an exclusive rug, a coat that will last for generations, upholstery fabric for a design classic – or a filter in an industrial setting. The new testing facility in Sörforsa opens up new opportunities for sheep owners. The entire value chain is gathered here – from collection, classification, and washing to delivery of consistent volumes of the qualities demanded by industry. Thanks to classification according to the new Swedish wool standard, many different qualities can be utilized. This increases the value of the wool and gives you, as a sheep owner, a new source of income and increased profitability.
