WHAT WE DO
The International Wool Textile Organisation is the global authority for standards in the wool textile industry. Since 1930, IWTO has represented the collected interests of the global wool trade.
With 36 members in 24 countries, IWTO’s membership encompasses all stages of the wool textile pipeline. From farm to retail, through research, education, and knowledge sharing, IWTO ensures a sustainable future for wool.
OUR ACTIVITIES
Events
IWTO holds two events each year. The annual Congress brings together the world’s wool professionals for knowledge-sharing and networking. The Wool Round Table focuses on internal IWTO business and insight into the IWTO member country where it takes place.
Wool Market Intelligence
How many sheep are there in the world? How much wool is produced each year? Which country is the largest wool importer?
Figures like these are key for everyone working in the wool industry and the Market Intelligence Committee is charged with providing them.
