“THE BASIS OF OUR WORK IS THE CLOSENESS TO NATURE. THAT RESULTS IN PRODUCTS EXACTLY HOW WE WANT THEM TO BE. NAMELY, JUST THE WAY YOU NEED THEM.”
Andreas Schechinger,
Managing Director of Tatonka GmbH

Getting close to nature means really being at one with it // With wind and rain, rocks and fells. But getting close also means acting ecologically and economically. We are aware of our responsibility here, which is why we also take nature into consideration in our actions.

TATONKA is one of the very few companies in the outdoor industry which still manufactures its products itself. This means that we have a direct influence on all problematic factors and, where we can, create a counterbalance. Many production steps involve handwork. We make sure that the working conditions at our own production facility fulfil the highest standards, not only here in Germany but especially in Vietnam where we have been setting benchmarks for decades. A responsibility to people and nature is the focus of our work
at TATONKA.

We do our own developing, our own testing, our own manufacturing and we enjoy the results ourselves too – on our expeditions in the great outdoors. This allows us to share the “outdoor” feeling with you; for example, this year on a demanding tour through the wilderness of northern Sweden. Join us on our expeditions: we want to bring you closer to one of the last areas of rugged nature in Europe.
