Bolivia

Altifibers, an independent Bolivian Company from its inception in January 1990 has been committed to the needs of the Textile Industry by harnessing our expertise on the Natural Fibres originating from Llama and Alpaca Animals, resulting in significant added value of these Fibres through the manufacturing of distinctive, warm, soft and beautifully colored garments. Bolivia is a major producer of Llama and Alpaca Fibres in the world, commanding the Number One and Number Two positions in these Fibres respectively. Altifibers started by commercializing Llama and Alpaca Tops, originally processed in Europe. These were well received by the European Textile Companies, who considered that the Tops were of a quality suitable for their markets. However, the high costs of transport and processing reduced the price competitiveness of the product and thus limiting the development of the European Market. It was, therefore, decided to industrialize the product in Bolivia, thereby taking advantage of considerably lower processing costs. In 1995, Altifibers acquired and installed a Plant for the production of Tops (Combed Fibres) on an industrial scale in La Paz, Bolivia. In 2002 we acquired a second combing line increasing our total production to 840.000 kgs per year. This investment permitted Altifibers to consolidate its position in the market place and to expand into other markets, thus actively participating in the World Market of Tops of Llama, Alpaca Fibres and Sheep Wool. During 1996, a series of tests were made to improve the selection of the Llama Fibres to achieve improved quality. These tests showed that the separation between coarse and finer hairs substantially improved the product.
