Global performance-fabric manufacturer Sattler AG has announced a corporate restructuring of its two U.S. subsidiaries, Sattler North America Corp. and Outdura Corp. The two subsidiaries will join to form Sattler Corp. The consolidation further supports Sattler’s commitment to become the premier supplier of performance textiles for awning, casual-furniture, marine, and industrial applications to its served markets of North, Central, and South America. The move will consolidate operations at the company’s facility in Hudson, North Carolina, and will provide a centralized location for sales, marketing, customer service, quality/technical services, and administration.

According to Manfred Heissenberger, executive director and CEO of the newly formed corporation, “We firmly believe this restructuring will enable us to serve our customers, as we grow our business in the United States, in the timeliest and most customer-centric way possible.”

Sattler AG is a fifth-generation, family-owned company engaged in the manufacturing of fabric for awning, marine, transportation, industrial, and military applications; tents and tensile structures; and biogas containment. Sattler acquired the Outdura brand in January 2011 from Shuford Mills, L.L.C., and created Outdura Corp.

Steve Weiss, vice president of awning fabric; Natalie Scott, vice president of casual-furniture fabrics; and Jeff Jimison, vice president of marine fabrics, will continue in their current roles in the new organization, under the direction of Heissenberger. The restructuring of the Sattler Corp. was completed on October 1, 2012. More information about Sattler and Outdura can be found on their websites (www.sattler-ag.com and www.outdura.com).
