The beginnings of the German brand: Leki

Leki was founded in 1948 by Karl Lenhart in Dettingen/Teck and initially began with the manufacture of plastic parts. The brand was shaped by the visionary spirit of Klaus Lenhart, who worked intensively on improving ski poles made of bamboo in the 1960s. These early efforts led to the introduction of the first Leki ski pole made of aluminum in 1970, which laid the foundation for today's success story. Incidentally, the name "Leki" is the name of the company founder.

The Leki philosophy: innovation, quality and sustainability

Leki's philosophy emphasizes enthusiasm, innovation, quality, partnership, excellence, and responsibility. These values have always been integral to the company. Leki strives to develop poles and gloves that meet the highest technical standards and are produced sustainably. This commitment to quality and sustainability is reflected in the production of poles in the EU, specifically in Tachov, Czech Republic, where strict quality controls ensure that every product meets the highest standards.

Breakthrough with the Trigger System: comfort and performance redefined

A milestone in Leki's history was the development of the Trigger System, which revolutionized the connection between the pole and the Leki glove. This innovation made it possible to produce gloves with integrated loops that take comfort and power transmission to a new level. Today, Leki offers gloves with and without loops that are specially adapted to the requirements of different sports. These innovations have fundamentally changed the design of poles and gloves and set new standards in sports equipment. With Leki ski poles, for example, you are perfectly prepared for the slopes, while Leki hiking poles are optimized for hiking and trekking.

Leki's commitment to sustainability and reparability

Leki focuses on durable products and sustainable manufacturing processes. One outstanding example is the FX folding system, which allows damaged pole segments to be easily replaced without tools. This reduces waste and promotes the poles' repairability. Leki also strives to minimize material waste and develop some of its production machinery to increase efficiency and sustainability further. Poles of almost all vintages can be repaired with original Leki spare parts if necessary, which extends the service life of the products and avoids the need to buy new ones.

Tested by professionals, developed for you

Leki works closely with a worldwide team of top athletes, including well-known names such as Mikaela Shiffrin, Alexis Pinturault, Aleksander Aamodt Kilde, Johannes Høsflot Klæbo, and Pau Capell. These athletes test and develop Leki products, which ensures that you, as a recreational athlete, can benefit from the same high-quality equipment. For example, if you prefer to use ultra-light equipment, you can save even more grams of carbon when using Leki hiking or trail running poles. The partnerships are long-term and based on mutual respect and success. So you can be sure Leki products always meet the highest standards and offer you the best support.

Innovations and Future Prospects at Leki

Leki will remain a pioneer in sports equipment in the future. The latest innovations, such as the Aergon Air grip, the Trail Trigger grip, and the FX folding system, used in Leki hiking poles and for trail running, offer you even more comfort, performance, and sustainability. The Aergon Air grip impresses with its low weight and optimized grip angle, while the Trail Trigger grip was specially developed for trail runners and offers easy handling and improved energy transfer. With a constant stream of new ideas and innovations, Leki continues to set standards in the development of sports equipment. Look forward to more groundbreaking products already in development or field testing.
