Our Production

At our environmentally certified factory in Romania, we control every step of the process. Our production isn't about breaking quantity records. It's about ensuring that every single wool garment is knitted, sewn, and meticulously inspected by people who love their work.

Our production facility is located approximately 100 km from Bucharest, in Buzau, in the heart of southeastern Romania.
At Bråtens, we are very committed not only to creating good and warm wool products but also to our social responsibility. We work closely with our subcontractors to ensure we have control over the country of origin and guarantees for the use of mulesing-free wool.

Our dream is to be able to produce all our garments with Norwegian wool, but this is not possible for all categories. Norwegian wool has a slightly coarser surface on its fibers and is therefore very well suited for wool sweaters and socks. We prefer to use Merino wool from Australia with its smooth fibers for wool underwear and t-shirts, as the innermost and first layer close to the body.

We are always working to develop new ways to use up leftover yarn and materials. All other textile waste is sent to recycling facilities.

It's about our close relationship with nature and our strict demands for a sustainable value chain.
