A
COMPANY
THAT
TOUCHES.

Future since 1901: Looking ahead is a tradition at Gebr. Otto. Yarns - and visions - have always been spun in beautiful southern Germany. Above all, we set standards in technology: thanks to our cross-technology know-how and our own engineering team, our textile solutions are ahead of their time. Our dyeing plant is second to none in Europe.

As a family business, we are committed to values such as a sense of responsibility, entrepreneurial foresight and a sense of duty. But we owe our success not least to our dedicated employees. Many of them have been loyal to the company for decades, some of them even in the second or third generation.

A SENSE FOR THE GOOD AND BEAUTIFUL.

We choose our cotton according to a very simple principle: only the best quality. This requires a sensitive instinct and relationships with the best suppliers that have grown over decades. Cotton since 1901 stands for the finest natural fibres from safe origins and cultivated in an eco-friendly way. Every fibre that goes into the spinning process meets our high standards.

ALWAYS A GOOD FEELING.

The process of manufacturing the best yarn made in Germany is just as high quality as the raw material itself. The sustainable production of the yarns is strictly controlled by independent institutions and external laboratories. The perfect combination of the best cotton, high-tech spinning and environmentally friendly dyeing is an art in itself and ensures the incomparably good feeling of the textile on our skin.
