About Us
Our story begins in 1985 as a family-owned company named Svav-Or, an importer of natural yarns to the local textile industry. In 2002, we acquired IKAR, enabling the expansion of our yarn portfolio. Soon after, in 2003, IKAR began focusing on finished products - specializing in seamless technology. The main goal – developing and manufacturing top-quality finished products for leading brands and retailers around the globe. To this day, we strive to inspire a creative spirit with great working vibes and cooperation.
