Hamburg, 04.07.2023
Starting as of 1 July, the HELM logo will be visible on the sleeve of the left shoulder of Timo Boll and his team-mates, thus at the worldwide appearances of individual athlete Timo Boll as well as at all matches of Borussia Düsseldorf. The partnership contracts are currently set up for three years with the option to extend.
"I am very proud to have gained a new partner in HELM AG. The talks with Stephan Schnabel, during which we got on very quickly, showed me that this company and the people behind it are a very good fit for me. This partnership gives me extra motivation and drive on my further way", commented the so far six-time Olympic participant Timo Boll.
"We are very happy that we could win HELM as a strong partner for us. Due to the family value orientation, the international set up and the consistency over many years, we are sure that HELM is a very good match for us as," commented Andreas Preuß, manager of Borussia Düsseldorf.
Partnerships and team cohesion are not only essential in sport, but also reflect the "Powerful impact through Partnerships" leitmotif of the Hamburg-based chemical company.
"Partnerships are an important part of our HELM DNA and the foundation of our daily business. Whether with business partners, external stakeholders or our longstanding employees. Coupled with team spirit and perseverance, it is precisely these partnerships that connect us with Timo Boll as well as Borussia Düsseldorf," says Stephan Schnabel, CEO of HELM AG.
HELM is already supporting a number of sporting projects in the city of Hamburg. Sponsorships on a global level start now with the partnership launch of Boll and his team. The aim of the sponsorship is to use Timo Boll's high profile, particularly in Asia, to further strengthen HELM's presence and the associated visibility in the Asian market.
To activate the partnership in the best possible way, HELM plans to actively involve its employees. "As Timo Boll is very well known worldwide and table tennis is played all around the world, the partnership offers us the opportunity to bring our employees even closer together globally through various internal campaigns and events. We are very much looking forward to being able to cheer along together at the games in the next few years and to everything that awaits us in the partnership," says Stephan Schnabel.
