About Speaker

He is the owner of JFM Speciality Fibres AG and Wollhandel AG in Basel, Switzerland, as well as MDG Naturfasern GmbH in Germany. Through these enterprises, Michael works extensively across Europe and the Far East to promote the value and identity of animal fibres within global markets.
