Led Lenser Frilufts- och vandringsutrustning

In 1994, with 1,000 DM, a sketch book, toolbox and old Atari computer, twin brothers Rainer and Harald Opolka struck out on their own and founded Ledlenser in their garage in Germany. With all the passion and courage of two young, newly-minted entrepreneurs, they managed without the bank and to their own surprise ended up selling more than 200 million Euros' worth of LED flashlights in the first five years. Fast forward 17 years, hundreds of patents and design awards later, and Ledlenser is now a company of more than 1000 employees, three manufacturing bases and a range of some of the world's highest-quality LED flashlights.
