ORTLIEB

Did successful people start their project with exactly this vision, or do they someday look back in amazement at what they have achieved? With a success story like that of Hartmut Ortlieb, you could ask yourself that question. When his company started in the early 1980s, he stood in a small niche under an escalator at one of the first outdoor trade fairs with bags he had sewn himself from truck tarpaulin. But this "appearance" brought him great success. Today, many years later, ORTLIEB is represented in umpteen countries and is the global market leader in its segment. Over 500 individual products are produced in Heilsbronn near Nuremberg. ORTLIEB has become a synonym for waterproof bike bags. Their Back-Rollers are now popular classics and hundreds of thousands of them are already on the road around the world. The goal in the development of their products has always remained the same: people who spend their free time actively in nature should feel independent of everything that they cannot influence - i.e. the weather.
