History
Reifen Lorenz was founded in 1930 by vulcaniser Hermann Lorenz in Parschnitz in the Riesengebirge. In 1952 the business opened in Rückersdorf near Nuremberg, and in the following years its offering was expanded to include retreading for truck tyres. In 1961 Günter Lorenz followed in the footsteps of his father Hermann Lorenz. In 1967 the first branch was inaugurated in Hersbruck, and in 1971 the first Nuremberg branch opened on Maybachstraße. In 1979 the company headquarters was relocated from Rückersdorf to Lauf and the company was oriented as a full-service provider.
