Henkel Becomes Official Sponsor of the 2008 Men’s European Handball Championship

Handball - 05 Nov 2007
   
Infront Sports & Media has announced that the German-based Henkel group, manufacturer of many well known branded products, is to be the Official Sponsor of the upcoming 2008 Men’s European Championship, exclusively in the product categories of cosmetics, adhesives and detergents.
 
The European Handball Federation’s (EHF) major event, will take place from 17-27 January 2008 in Norway, brings together Europe’s best men’s handball teams. The line-up includes established handball countries from Scandinavia, as well as Germany, Spain, France and Russia, as well as successful teams from smaller countries such as Croatia and Slovenia.

This will be the first time that Henkel has been involved with a European Handball Championship. A pan-European event, the tournament is perfect communication platform to raise awareness in their core markets while further expanding the impact of their brands in the fast-growing eastern European markets.
 
With the agreement, Henkel secures strong, visible presence during the event through perimeter advertising, product promotion and branding on referees’ shirts – the first time this has been permitted in the history of the event. The comprehensive sponsorship package also includes VIP access and tickets for hospitality purposes.

Tor Lian, President of the EHF, said: “The European Handball Championship may be a European event, but with around 950 television programming hours across over 80 countries worldwide, from Greenland to Australia, it has a truly international audience. We are delighted that we enhance the group of valued event sponsors by important global partners and world brands like Henkel. This agreement is another decisive step forward for the sport of handball.”
 
Stephan Herth, Executive Director Summer Sports of Infront, said: “This agreement is important for Infront, as part of our on-going objective to continually raise the marketing profile of the EHF property and to further develop long-term relationships with top consumer brands like Henkel. Handball’s following is growing rapidly and the Men’s European Handball Championship is already one of the top sports events in Europe. We are confident that the agreement will deliver great value to both partners and Infront will help activate the sponsorship the best way possible.”
