Leave daily life behind for a moment and come with us on a journey to the land of the Tasmanian devil and the environment inhabited by our merino sheep: Tasmania.
ORTOVOX introduced the functional sheep fiber in 1995 – the start of a Bavarian success story. Today the Taufkirchen-based company sources its Tasmanian wool from six selected farms. A collaboration that has forever been characterized by friendship, transparency and high standards of animal welfare.
But what is this functional fiber’s secret? Where does the wool come from? How do the animals live, and what about the people?
The Ortovox Merino Story is about the animals, the farms and the people. Here, transparency and traceability are of primary importance. As part of this, farmers must produce their merino wool in accordance with our Ortovox Wool Policy, while the animals must live in a natural environment.
Immerse yourselves in the world of the Tasmanian merino sheep: From the biannual sheep shearing, washing and wool top production through to the creation of the Merino Yarn, Europe-based production and Wool functionality – for the first time ORTOVOX is providing a comprehensive insight into the production of nature’s most functional fiber.
With reports, farm profiles and videos, ORTOVOX tells the story of animal and man, a story characterized by friendship and a sense of responsibility. Find the full story here!
