LEDLENSER
ABOUT US
Many revolutionary products first saw the light of day in a garage. This was also the case with the first
Ledlenser. When Harald and Rainer Opolka founded the company Zweibrüder Optoelectronics in 1993, they
really didn’t have much more than a garage, an old Atari computer, a set of tools, a sketchpad and around
1,000 Deutschmarks in seed capital.
Today, the company that started in a garage is an international flashlight and headlamp manufacturer that
remains globally unmatched. With over 1,000 employees worldwide, we share the aim of improving a little
every day – in everything we do. We are therefore continually expanding our product range, scrutinizing
even tried and tested ideas and increasingly relying on sustainable energy sources.
