News: The German manufacturer Ortlieb has been living the topic of sustainability for years, but for the producer of bikepacking equipment, bags, backpacks and the like, not only sustainable production is important, but also a long service life of the products. To make this possible, Ortlieb focuses heavily on the topic of repairs. In contrast to Black Friday, the Ortlieb Repairweek was launched last year and would like to build on its success. For this there is a period of November 13rd to December 3st 40% discount on all repairs.
Ortlieb's repair service has been very popular since the company was founded in 1982. Around 18.000 products are repaired at the Heilsbronn location every year and the aim is to continue this trend. To this end, Ortlieb is constantly expanding its repair service and training its partners to become repair professionals. In addition to specialist retailers, many sales partners worldwide are able to repair defects on site and thus avoid unnecessary shipping routes. In the core market in Germany, 53 dealers are currently trained to carry out repairs to bags on site. In order to make repairs as easy as possible, all Ortlieb products are designed so that individual parts are easy to replace and the bags and backpacks therefore have an even longer lifespan.
