About us

Pioneer, leader, innovative and passionate are some words that described Michell today after recently celebrating our 90th anniversary of being pioneers and leaders in the production of Alpaca tops and yarns around the world.

Frank W. Michell founded Michell & Cía. in 1931, dedicated to the purchase, classification and commercialisation of alpaca and wool. Totally identified with alpaca, his intention was to bring the qualities of this singular Andean product to the attention of the rest of the world.
