75 Years of LEKI

2023 LEKI OF TODAY

The simple answer is this: It´s a place where good people meet and, by sharing their ideas, create some- thing bigger than themselves. The new LEKI has a youth- ful feel, especially when exciting new concepts are playfully pitched being around – as seen in the hemp project. At the same time, there is a certain sincerity to LEKI as we execute with laser focus as soon as we have set course – like pushing out constant innovation on a reliable basis. As an innovative company, we like to dream, but as an industry leader, we also pride ourselves on delivering. Today, there is no concrete plan of where the company should be ten years from now as it will adapt to the industry’s ever-changing face. We don’t harbor any fancy business plan and have no grandiose idea to start making bicycles. Certainly, we want to continue focusing on making the world’s best poles and gloves, but we will continue to base our decision on deep core values. We will continue to create excellence through team collaboration while maintaining individual ownership. LEKI is and will continue to be stronger and more resilient than any individual. We are excited to continue this journey together with every single one of you.

“We are standing on the shoulder of giants” was a common quote by Waltraud when referring to the rich past of LEKI. This family history now extends into the third generation. What Karl Lenhart started and Klaus Lenhart took to new heights is now being led into the future by Friederike and Markus Lenhart. The next Lenhart generation allows the company to continue to author its story as shareholders. New co-CEOs Martin Rominger and Matthias Hatt helped LEKI weather the storm of the COVID years, compounded by the loss of Waltraud. In 2022, the team guided LEKI to the most successful year in company history. So what defines the LEKI of today?
