Hess Natur (written as hessnatur) is a German natural textile mail order company based in Butzbach in the Wetterau district of Hesse. Its range of products is aimed at nature-conscious or special customers, such as people with allergies.
History
The company was founded in 1976 by Heinz Hess and Dorothea Hess under the name 'dorothea hess - Versand naturgemäßer Waren' (dorothea hess - mail order of natural goods) in Bad Homburg vor der Höhe. The joint management ran until 1982.[1][2]
In 1986, the expanding company moved to a larger building in Bad Homburg, from where the shop and mail order business was run.[3]
In 2001, Neckermann acquired a majority stake in the company (100% as of 5 January 2001).[4]
