About GOBI
GOBI is the company's flagship brand and the one it sells abroad, covering fashion apparel, accessories and home goods in one hundred per cent Mongolian cashmere for every age group. The company makes all of it at its own Ulaanbaatar factory rather than through untraceable contract manufacturers, which is the reason it gives for being able to price cashmere as it does. A GOBI store opened inside Chinggis Khaan International Airport during the first quarter of 2025.

About the owner: Gobi
Gobi is a publicly listed company headquartered in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia, founded in 1981. Brandtree records 5 brands under its control, and it is listed as MSE: GOV.
Gobi is a Mongolian cashmere manufacturer established on 5 September 1981, when a goat cashmere and camel wool processing plant built under a Japanese government grant opened in Ulaanbaatar — the first factory of its kind in the country. It was reorganised as a joint stock company and listed on the Mongolian Stock Exchange in 1993, and passed entirely into private hands in 2007 when FCI LLC bought the state's 73.45 per cent through an international tender; Tavan Bogd Holdings LLC held 87.33 per cent of it at 31 March 2025. It employs around 1,700 people, more than seventy per cent of them women, spins its own yarn and knits, weaves and sews some 2.5 million finished pieces a year at its own factory, and sells them under five brands.
