TATONKA – a German outdoor brand and family-run company

„At Tatonka we develop products for people who enjoy spending time in nature. We do this with passion, imagination and stamina – and with success. “ – Andreas Schechinger, Owner and Managing Director of Tatonka GmbH

The outdoor brand TATONKA was created and registered globally in 1993. Shortly after that, in 1994, the family-run business Mountain Sport GmbH, founded in 1980, was renamed Tatonka GmbH. We are the only outdoor manufacturer to fabricate all of our own products ourselves in a fully transparent manner – for over 30 years now.

Tatonka GmbH is a family-run business with its headquarters in Dasing near Augsburg. We have a flat hierarchy in the company, short and effective decision-making processes, and personal contact with our employees and customers. Tatonka’s Dasing facility houses our development department, management and the distribution warehouse. Our products are manufactured in our proprietary factories in Vietnam. Tatonka GmbH has roughly 1,000 employees worldwide.

Our proprietary manufacturing: everything from one source
Our products are developed in Dasing and manufactured in our own facilities in Vietnam. The company’s first proprietary manufacturing plant was built in Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon) in 1989. It was set up according to European production standards and the Vietnamese employees were trained accordingly. High social standards were a priority from the very beginning. Capacity at the production facility has been continuously expanded along with the size of the factory. Today we manufacture our products at two Mountech Co. Ltd. Facilities: Ho Chi Minh City and Binh Dinh Province.
