KYOCERA becomes a premium partner to the Austrian Ice Hockey Federation

09 December 2010

KYOCERA MITA AUSTRIA GmbH is the new premium partner to the Austrian Ice Hockey Federation (ÖEHV). The familiar company logo will be displayed on the national team's jersey, increasing KYOCERA's brand exposure in Austria.

The package includes additional advertising space relating to the national team, which will help KYOCERA gain brand awareness in Austria.
Dieter Kalt Sr, President of the ÖEHV, is very pleased by the company's involvement: "KYOCERA is a global company with a great deal of experience in sports sponsorship, and we are pleased to have gained it as a premium partner. The company's high level of interest in our sport has been evident since our initial discussions. We are convinced that the sponsorship arrangement will be highly successful for both sides."
Dietmar Nick, Managing Director of KYOCERA MITA AUSTRIA GmbH, confirms this view. "Ice hockey is a fast and technically demanding sport, with a dynamic nature that matches our company’s drive and ambition. The advertising presence relating to the national team and the accompanying measures will help us further increase brand awareness of KYOCERA in Austria. The partnership is also a logical extension of our international commitment to next year's Ice Hockey World Championship."

Accompanying measures are planned

As with its sponsoring activities in Germany (where sports partnerships include Borussia Mönchengladbach and the German Hockey Federation), KYOCERA intends to accompany its sponsorship of the ÖEHV with a series of complimentary measures.
