The company provides regular employment for around 150 people and hires an additional 20 to 30 seasonal workers for fiber sorting. It supports its employees by offering on-site accommodations next to the factory. Each year, it processes around 800 tons of cashmere, about 200 tons of camel wool, over 30 tons of yak wool, and more than 200 tons of sheep wool, producing 100 percent pure yarn and finished products.
