IWTO Congress 2013

The annual IWTO Congress is  an independent international organisation that operates in the area of the world wool trade and industry regulations since 1927. It is a meeting point for the wool industry including growers, traders, primary processors, spinners, weavers, garment manufacturers and retailers.

Focusing on key industry strategies such as wool's sustainability credentials and new applications for wool in the area of human health and wellness, the IWTO Congress  took place in Biella, where, according to Zegna Baruffa, there is a strong manufacturing tradition.

Zegna Baruffa is one of the leading companies engaged in the production of natural top-quality yarns for knitwear.

With 165 years experience in the manufacturing  tradition, the company introduced Cashwool, an extra-fine Merino wool yarn, in the early 1970’s. It became the company leading product, now available in a range of 300 colours .

The company was proud to welcome the 82th IWTO Congress and its delegations. As the company explained, the congress theme was extremely close to its own values – ‘excellence in manufacturing’  is the company’s cornerstone, achieved with its research team, the accurate quality control and the efforts for innovation, while ‘heritage for the future’ represents the company’s human and  professional capital, the strong link with the Biellese district, and the steady attention for the environmental sustainability in all the manufacturing phases.
