Iran Merinos Factories

The long-standing tradition of producing high-quality goods at Iran Merinos, together with extensive technical know-how and modernized machinery, has enabled the company to be recognized as one of the strongest and most reputable producers of worsted fabrics in Iran.

Obtaining various quality assurance and quality management certificates, incentive standards, numerous commendation plaques in support of consumer rights, and similar achievements are all examples of the dynamic, excellence-driven performance of Iran Merinos.

Iran Merinos operates in two production fields—textiles and apparel. By supplying its products to the domestic market on the one hand, and offering apparel through its network of thirty-eight sales agencies on the other, the company has pursued a comprehensive presence in the production arena. By producing more than 2.5 million meters annually of various worsted fabrics, it has taken firm steps in this field. In the same direction, with the addition of a new production line, the company aims to produce textiles and ultimately cotton fabrics and “Pakouyi” apparel for the young and teenage generations.

High-quality aba (cloak) fabrics as well as quality travel blankets are among the company’s other products, each introducing distinctive and new advantages to the market. These products have been very successful in market supply and have been considered among the main production items.

Given the existing potential capabilities of Iran Merinos, polyester–viscose textiles used by the armed forces have also been incorporated into the production cycle. In next year’s production plan, this will be added as one of the company’s regular production items.

Special finishing processes implemented on the company’s production line—such as the use of nanotechnology, waterproof and “impermeable” finishes, flame-retardant finishes, and the like—have expanded the company’s product range and defined broader capabilities. Likewise, producing textiles with blended yarns incorporating Lycra yarns in the company’s spinning unit has provided similar possibilities.

Programs:
Leveraging advanced software and hardware, the company’s R&D unit—beyond research related to the current product portfolio—has also undertaken other noteworthy activities in various areas. These include dyeing wool using a very wide spectrum of natural and plant-based dyes through a mordanting (dandaneh) method, and achieving the “Samurai black” shade used for polyester chador fabrics. Each of these efforts involved extensive research, data collection, and numerous tests. In each case, actions were taken to expand the market; however, some did not reach the expected outcomes due to external reasons, while others are still ongoing.

Another key focus of Iran Merinos is to take further steps toward supplying and producing apparel. In this regard, and currently through cooperation with well-known men’s clothing manufacturers, the company supplies suits, jackets, and trousers through its agency stores nationwide as well as Refah chain stores. Adding an in-house apparel production line is also included in the company’s future plans.

In addition to creating greater added value, this initiative will bring the company closer to end consumers and help capture their preferences and feedback. It is also worth noting that the trademark “(Merin)” for apparel produced by Iran Merinos has been officially registered. In the company’s mid-term plans—while maintaining priority and emphasis on textile production—the production and supply of apparel under this brand has been defined and established.
