bruno banani
Before bruno banani there was emptiness. In the early 1990s, boring standard underpants (with interventions) dominated the German underwear market. Until 1993 - when company owner, Wolfgang Jassner, founded bruno banani underwear GmbH. Previously, he had held various Senior positions within the textile industry.
Today bruno banani is a cult brand. Since its founding in 1993 and today, there is an innovative marketing strategy in place and a turnover increase from zero to 96.5 million euros, as well as extreme tests being undertaken such as:
-
