BRUNO BANANI

Before bruno banani, there was emptiness. In the early 1990s, boring standard briefs with a fly dominated the German underwear market. Until 1993, when Diplom Business Administrator Wolfgang Jassner founded the bruno banani underwear GmbH as the majority shareholder. Prior to that, he held various leadership positions in the textile industry.

Between the founding year 1993 and today lie an innovative marketing strategy and an increase in turnover from zero to zero to 96.5 million euros, as well as extreme tests such as:

THE ECO CHALLENGE

The toughest nature sport in the world - a distant relative of triathlons.

The testing conditions included extreme factors such as humid and warm climate, impenetrable wilderness, and the extraordinary demands placed on the athletes.

The Pressure Test at the Bermuda Triangle.

In 2001, Bruno Banani embarked on a journey to the depth of 4,800 meters in the Bermuda Triangle with the underwear collection 'Your Funtastic Oxygen' during a deep-sea expedition. With each meter the expedition's submersibles approached the ocean floor, the pressure on 'Your Funtastic Oxygen' increased. Upon reaching the bottom, the participants of the expedition discovered that Bruno Banani's underwear had withstood the pressure with seemingly playful ease. The result: The certificate PRESSURE PROOF / First Designer Brand 4,800 Meters under the Sea.
