“In Jürgen, we gained an accomplished expert for ORTLIEB in 2018, and from his knowledge and experience we have undoubtedly benefited,” stated Hartmut Ortlieb. “Even this generational change in transitioning the position of CEO from Jürgen Siegwarth to Martin Esslinger is an example of Jürgen’s successful work in recent years.”
Back in February 2021, Martin Esslinger joined Hartmut Ortlieb and Jürgen Siegwarth in the company’s top tier management.
"ORTLIEB is doing very well, but we still have major challenges ahead in terms of digitization and automation. Additionally, there is still a need to increase international brand desirability and profile as an authentically sustainable brand that has been producing durable, repairable and 100% waterproof and German-made outdoor equipment for 40 years,” continued Ortlieb. “This is something we’re going to continue to tackle with the entire team and with Martin as commercial director. Jürgen will of course continue to support us in an advisory capacity.”
