Leki: How It All Began
Leki founder Karl Lenhart turned his hobby into a thriving business when he began making improvised adjustments to his own set of skiing poles at the woodworking factory he founded in Bavaria in 1948.
From making wooden letters for signage on butchers’ and bakers’ shops, he used his previous experience in aircraft construction to begin experimenting with aluminium and composites. This soon led to the manufacture of ski and cross country poles, followed by trekking poles and Nordic poles which have helped revolutionise life for walking enthusiasts all over the world.
Responsible for the world’s first fibreglass composite ski pole and the original adjustable trekking pole, Leki’s products today are all designed in co-operation with certified mountain guides and professional athletes.
Named after Lenhart and Kirchheim unter Teck where the business was born, Leki poles reduce the impact on joints, aid stability and correct posture, and help relieve fatigue.
