The Norwegian textile company Røros Tweed is characterized by a high level of vertical integration. All production processes, from shearing to weaving, are based in Norway, starting with designs that are created in collaboration with renowned designers, including international ones. The fact that Røros Tweed pays such consistent attention to purely Norwegian production is also due to the appreciation of regional traditions - but not only. In Røros, Norway's only mountain town, it all began with a social motivation: the industrialist Peder Hiort (1715 to 1789) had stipulated in his will that his fortune should be used to purchase wool so that the needy of Røros could weave textiles from it in paid homework. Røros Tweed follows in this tradition of responsible action and continues the basic idea of the Hiort Foundation - technically advanced and ecologically minded. The products are designed and manufactured in such a way that the materials used can be reused and returned to the material cycle. This conserves resources, saves material costs and avoids waste. Røros Tweed only uses wool from sheep farms in the region. The climate there is extremely harsh, but provides a great advantage: pests do not even settle in the wool. Chemical treatment is therefore not necessary.
