Ortlieb - Waterproof Bicycle Bags and Backpacks "Made in Germany"
Ortlieb is a leading manufacturer of waterproof outdoor gear, particularly known for its high-quality bicycle bags. The company was founded in 1982 by Hartmut Ortlieb in Nuremberg. After a cycling trip through the constant rain of southern England, Hartmut Ortlieb was sitting at his mother's sewing machine. His mission: finally, decent, and above all, waterproof gear. His panniers made of red truck tarpaulin quickly found favor with friends, acquaintances, and cycling enthusiasts, and demand soon exceeded the capacity of the one-man operation. Today, over 220 employees are involved: From the new company headquarters in Heilsbronn to the entire world, everything at Ortlieb, from development and production to marketing and sales, is still "Made in Germany."
In addition to touring cyclists and bike couriers, the reliable and durable Ortlieb bags and backpacks are also enjoying increasing popularity as companions for the office or university.
Quality, innovation, and sustainability - this is what Ortlieb has stood for since 1982
Ortlieb's philosophy is based on three pillars: uncompromising quality, continuous innovation, and sustainability. The company produces all its products in Germany, which enables strict quality controls and compliance with high manufacturing standards.
