The actual processes have not fundamentally changed over the\u00a0years\u00a0and knowledge gained\u00a0in the industry\u00a0has been passed down through\u00a0the\u00a0generations of\u00a0our local workforce, many of whom have\u00a0remained\u00a0with us for many years.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n This\u00a0experience\u00a0is a cornerstone of our\u00a0mohair\u00a0combing plant. Combing fibre, and in particular mohair\u00a0requires even more specialist skills than those for other fibres such as wool.\u00a0 There is a strong understanding of the machinery to obtain the very best finished product. While many processors chase ever-increasing outputs, speed and quantity in processing are not our focus, quality and customer satisfaction are\u00a0the most important element to us.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n [\/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner row_type=”row” type=”full_width” use_row_as_full_screen_section_slide=”no” text_align=”left” padding_top=”30″ padding_bottom=”30″ box_shadow_on_row=”no”][vc_column_inner width=”1\/4″][vc_single_image image=”20305″ img_size=”” hover_animation=”no”][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/4″][vc_single_image image=”20306″ img_size=”” hover_animation=”no”][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/4″][vc_single_image image=”20304″ img_size=”” hover_animation=”no”][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/4″][vc_single_image image=”20307″ img_size=”” hover_animation=”no”][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n To this end we currently run Schlumberger SB29\/SB30 machines which we know run at the optimum speed for efficient mohair production.
