Batsuuri's mother worked as a fashion designer at Gobi, the largest cashmere producer in Mongolia. In the early 1990s, she fulfilled her dream of having her own cashmere factory and, together with her husband, started a simple embroidery business with just one knitting machine. Over the years, the company grew and Batsuuri eventually took over the management from her mother. Today, the company employs 75 people and produces garments, accessories and home textiles from goat cashmere, yak wool and camel wool.
The purely organic products are used to keep people warm in Mongolia's very cold winters (down to -40 degrees). No toxic chemicals are used in the manufacturing process and as little CO2 as possible is produced at each stage of production. They strive to produce zero waste and recycle every yarn. The fibers themselves are biodegradable.
Batsuuri has reliable suppliers, Mongolian herders, with whom they have worked from day one. Today, the company exports its products to 18 countries in Asia, the EU and North America. Although the company has grown, the atmosphere is family-oriented and there are many long-term employees. Housewives and single mothers are given top priority in recruitment and only 10% of current employees are new hires.
