The family-owned company from Espelkamp strives to energetically support the team so that the handball fairy tale of 2007 can happen again. "HARTING and handball have gone together for many years – because our heart beats for this sport," says CEO Philip Harting. Harting explains that, as the main sponsor of the GWD Minden team for many years, the Handball World Cup offers a unique opportunity for HARTING to improve global brand recognition.
During the group phase, HARTING is represented on the playing field using a floor adhesive sticker. In the potential main round, this floor sticker will again be clearly visible. HARTING will also be displayed on the LED perimeter board. In addition, the Technology Group may play a 90-second highlight video of the game on its own channels after each Germany game.
HARTING already had a presence at the men’s handball championship in Croatia in early 2018. The Technology Group has also sponsored the preparation of the women’s handball team for the World Cup, which took place in late 2017. Philip Harting and his father Dietmar, who played actively in his early years, are avid handball fans.
The HARTING Technology Group is one of the world’s leading providers of industrial connection technology for the three lifelines of Data, Signal and Power and has 13 production plants and branches in 44 countries. Moreover, the company also produces retail checkout systems, electromagnetic actuators for automotive and industrial series use, charging equipment for electric vehicles, as well as hardware and software for customers and applications in automation technology, mechanical and plant engineering, robotics and transportation engineering. In the 2017/18 business year, some 5,000 employees generated sales of EUR 762 million.
