We have the know-how and the ideas.
Swisswool founder Friedrich Baur comes from a family that has been processing local wool since 1913. He gained further wool expertise on sheep farms in New Zealand and South America and in the wool trade – and he has countless ideas for what can be made from Swiss wool.
We are entrepreneurs.
Friedrich Baur founded Swisswool after wool subsidies were abolished in Switzerland. Since then he has bought around half of all Swiss shorn wool every year – at his own risk and without subsidies.
We use every last fibre.
All wool has useful properties – so the whole shearing of every breed is valuable. We buy everything the farmers deliver and process every wool quality in large quantities.
Why wool is so brilliantLocal Multifunctional Natural Renewable
We invent.
Swiss wool is harder to process than imported wool and much more expensive. Success therefore takes creativity: Swisswool keeps developing new processing methods and products – such as a washable wool fleece or acoustic panels.
To the product world
We know our partners.
Yarn, loden, wool fleece or felt – Swisswool knows its production partners and works closely with them. Small workshops make selected wool items, while traditional processors produce high-quality wool materials in large quantities.
With Swiss wool from Swisswool.
We develop locally.
We design and develop every wool item in the Swisswool shop in Switzerland. We organise production as locally as possible, partly with non-profit organisations. Swisswool is a small team with a big network.
