Founded in 1875 in Austria, Outdura’s parent company Sattler brought its legacy of innovation to North America in 2010 through the acquisition of a distribution and production facility in North Carolina, where our US office is headquartered. From design to research and development to customer service, we set our sights on excellence, striving to make our fabric even more weatherproof, even more durable and even more beautiful.
Good to know: Our building in Hudson, NC is one of the rare North Carolina mills from the early 20th Century that still functions as a textile mill.
