With her as part of the global Ledlenser leadership team, we will take the company to the next level.”

We offer highly innovative products that exceed the very specific needs of consumers like our new headlamps and flashlights in the new Outdoor Range. Hikers, mountaineers, backcountry skiers, runners, anglers and hunters – virtually all outdoor enthusiasts can now extend their day by using our products. Together with my team I look forward to the challenge of writing another chapter in the Ledlenser success story.”
