The firm's fate has been guided by the couple who founded it, Dieter and Imma Sautter. And that was over 25 years ago.
Like so many newly established enterprises, it began in the garage of their home.
At first, it served as a second income for a growing family and their increasing needs. With much hard work, courage and skill, the Sautters built it up into a solid business which had soon found its place in the textile scene.
Both have influenced the name for the articles which together they have developed and marketed. The first letters of the names of Dieter and Imma Sautter as well as the word Natural textiles were assembled to establish our trade name "disana".
The fact that the name of the ancient goddess of health and healing "Sana" is also contained within our trademark is fully apt.
The philosophy of our products is "Healthy clothing not only for little people".

In the meantime the second generation of Sautters is also engaged in the business.
For several years, Elmar Sautter has been responsible for production and the procurement of raw materials.
In Aiga Sautter a competent, professional young woman has entered the firm with responsibility for customer care and marketing.
She and her colleagues are there to answer all your queries about the disana programme and to lead the marketing of our products.

But it is not only the Sautter family at work in our business. Around twenty people are employed to work with us in the production of our disana articles.
All disana knitted goods are produced from finished yarns exclusively on our own premises and a neighbouring business employed by us.
In addition woven materials are bought by the metre and are cut and sewn on our premises. Despite all the machinery and technology in use, this is still hard work which demands much skill and experience from all involved.

We are consciously committed to in-house production, as we consider this to be the only way to maintain the high ecological and handcrafted standards of our products. This also allows us plan exactly and oversee every step of production.
And because we make everything ourselves we can respond promptly to the wishes and suggestions of our customers

All our products are made of pure natural fibres which remain organic cotton, organic wool and silk. The high quality of our raw material is guaranteed by the fact that we have been working together with our suppliers for years.
As a member of the „International Natural Textiles Association IVN“ we commit to produce under strict ecological guidelines. From the cultivation of the raw materials through to the completed garments, every stage of our work complies with the ecological requirements. Even all extras like buttons and serving thread are made from naturally recurring raw materials. This is controlled by independent bodies and substantiated by regular chemical analysis of our products.

More than 600 retailers and mail order firms between Munich and Hamburg sell our disana products in Germany.
Of these, a few are large concerns, more are medium size and very many small businesses. But irrespective of how high the sales figures are, every single customer is important to us.
For all our customers have their own story - a story which, in some cases, we have followed over many years.

But we too are becoming "global," to use the modern idiom. More and more often we are dispatching parcels to addresses which, only a short time ago sounded quite exotic.
We are sometimes amazed ourselves that our goods are in demand in Seoul or Moscow. Over 200 coloured pins mark the locations of our customers on the big world map in our office. As the people in each land differ, so do their wishes, suggestions and expectations of us and our goods.
