The Espelkamp-based family business wants to actively support the team so that the handball magic of 2007 (World Cup title) and 2016 (European Championship title) can be repeated. "HARTING and handball – that’s commitment, passion and emotion. That’s why this partnership has worked so well for years," says CEO Philip Harting. As a long-standing sponsor of GWD Minden, the Handball World Cup offers a unique opportunity to make the HARTING brand even better known globally, as Philip Harting continues.
The German national team will kick off the tournament on Friday, 15 January 2021, with a match against Uruguay (kick-off 18:00). The match will be broadcast live on ARD and will therefore reach an audience of millions of viewers. The Technology Group is prominently visible by the distinctive HARTING logo on the players‘ trousers. In the main round, HARTING will also be present with a floor sticker.
HARTING has already been involved in the 2019 World Handball Championships and the 2020 and 2018 European Handball Championships. Philip Harting and his father Dietmar, who played actively himself in his early years, are avid handball enthusiasts.
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 14 production plants and 44 sales companies. 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 2019/20 business year, some 5,500 employees generated sales of EUR 759 million.
