The German company Deuter is Europe's most renowned backpack manufacturer and designer. Established in 1898, it has a history of over 100 years. It is a leading global multinational enterprise in the leisure and sports goods industry, with operations spanning 33 countries and regions around the world. Initially, Deuter’s main business involved producing simple bags and tents, and later it manufactured specialized mail sacks for the Royal Bavarian Post Office, breaking a century-long monopoly on postal backpack supply systems and becoming a market focal point.
In 1934, it officially entered the fields of mountaineering and camping, using cotton canvas, leather, and metal buckles to produce Tauern backpacks for the German Himalayan Expedition Team. With its open-style backpack structure, it gained the trust and acclaim of the expedition team. Due to the Tauern backpack's design being highly favored by outdoor enthusiasts and enjoying great popularity in the market, Deuter actively invested in the R&D of backpacks.
