The Company and the proposed project are located in Bayangol industrial district of Ulaanbaatar. The site occupies 1.7 hectares of land and is connected to the city’s electricity and utility grids.

Description of Company and Purpose of Project

The project will diversify the Company’s existing tanning activity to include leather garmenting. The leather garments will be upper market and higher margined products, sold initially to the local and regional market and, subsequently, to European markets. IFC and its technical consultants have advised the Company on redesigning the project into a two phased approach more in line with conservative financial and marketing parameters. IFC has also introduced the Company to European specialists who can provide technical, training, and marketing assistance. The project would be the first large private leather garmenting operation in Mongolia and an example for future companies to follow, thereby adding value to the country’s important livestock industry.
