Merino SA - Disrupting the Last 28 Years

Keeping Wool Value in South Africa
South African Merino farmers produce around 40 million kg of world-class wool a year, but over 90% used to leave the country greasy – with the value added elsewhere.
At Gerber & Co, our Paarl facility restores early-stage wool processing locally.
We scour, clean, and prepare wool for export, extract lanolin, and work with local carding, spinning, and textile partners – keeping value in SA and supporting farmers.
Every bale that passes through our plant strengthens the South African wool industry, from farm to fabric.
Discover how the wool value chain is being rebuilt and what it means for local producers. Read more from page 48 in the Merino SA Journal, here: https://linkly.link/2eCjS
