Touratech has become the sole distributor of the German made Ortlieb range of waterproof luggage.
Now being marketed exclusively under the “Touratech Waterproof made by Ortlieb” name, the full range of Ortlieb rack packs, saddlebags and tankbags will be available through Touratech’s worldwide distributor network.
Established in 1982 in Bavaria, Ortlieb Sportartikel GmbH is well known for high-quality outdoor equipment. Their products are used in a wide range of markets wherever waterproofing is essential.
Touratech say they are working closely with Ortlieb to leverage their design experience, especially with adventure touring products in combination with Ortlieb’s waterproofing and manufacturing expertise to further optimise the range for motorcycle applications.
“I am delighted that we can offer this additional range of products under the Touratech brand. ‘Touratech Waterproof made by Ortlieb’ is precisely tailored to motorcyclists’ requirements”, says Touratech Sales Manager Martin Wickert. “We see obvious advantages in partnering exclusively with market leader Ortlieb in this segment, and pooling the knowledge of both firms is in the interests of our customers”.
Ortlieb employs 170 people and offers a range of more than 500 individual items. All waterproof original Ortlieb products are manufactured using a high-frequency welding process directly at the company’s headquarters in Heilbronn.
