Ortlieb has assigned Funbike for the distribution of its products in the Austrian market from January 2014. The German producer of waterproof bags and packs already cooperates since 2011 with Funbike for the distribution of its Racktime brand in the Austrian market, as Ortlieb assumes the worldwide distribution of the Racktime's bag collection. Funbike also has the distribution in Austria for Tubus, a manufacturer of bicycle carriers. Ortlieb's former Austrian distributor, Sport & Outdoor, continues to sell Ortlieb's product line until the end of this year. The cooperation between Ortlieb and Sport & Outdoor ended, as Sport & Outdoor aims to focus on its own retail activities in the future.
