	With over 50 years invested in the research and development of wool technologies the partnership between ANDAR and The Woolmark Company combines the talents of the world’s leading manufacturer of wool processing equipment and experience of the world’s leading authority in shrink resist technology. This partnership is a commitment to providing innovation in wool processing, supplying the latest technology in sliver backwashing and continuous chlorine oxidisation shrink resist systems. This collaboration has also created the most modern principles in sliver and apparel processing. The change in lifestyles and desire for garments that are Total Easy Care has seen a constant increase in demand for shrink resist wools. Combined with this is the necessity to provide assurance of quality and achievement of processing parameters. In 1997 The Woolmark Company developed the Total Easy Care Accreditation programme, which provides both retailers and consumers with the assurance that the garments will perform. ANDAR have taken this to the next level in providing purpose built systems, designed specifically for the exacting requirements of the Total Easy Care programme.
