The History of Robens – Camping & Caravan Direct

The Robens story began in Germany in 1973, when Klaus Robens founded the company with his wife at their home in Wentorf. His deep knowledge of the outdoors and of the industry shaped the venture from the start, though its early scale was modest: the cellar served as the office, while the front lawn became the tent display area.

Growth and design partnership

By 1988 the brand had grown successful enough to move into newly built premises. Around the same time, Robens began working with industrial designer Olaf Bracht, who shared the founders’ passion for the outdoors. That collaboration allowed the company to develop products carefully designed for outdoor life, and helped establish its reputation for high quality at reasonable prices.

A new chapter

In 2000, Robens was acquired by Oase Outdoors. The brand underwent a relaunch in 2012, which included the introduction of a new logo. It has continued to develop since, with the aim of helping people pursue their passion for the outdoors.
