Sponsoring the Lions

Press Release

The passion for precision and timing – this the common factor that links the watch brand from the Black Forest to the German handball league team and this year‘s cup winners based in Mannheim. Junghans is expanding its commitment to sports by sponsoring the Rhein-Neckar Löwen. Hannes Steim, Managing Director at Junghans, is delighted with the partnership: „We consider ourselves fortunate to be walking side by side with the “Lions” in the future. The club is one of the best in Germany and has enjoyed a continuously strong performance – with a first-class squad that was recently featured in the press. Not only that. The German league club sets itself ambitious goals every season and they then go on to pursue them with enormous enthusiasm and passion. This fits in perfectly well with our own philosophy.” Speaking about the agreement, Steim adds: „Oliver Roggisch, sports coordinator of the Rhein-Neckar Löwen, was the one who originally initiated the sponsorship with Junghans – and we are very happy he did. Born in Villingen-Schwenningen, he comes from our neighbourhood and at the beginning of his career, he even played in selection matches against Schramberg. The fact that we are now teaming up many years later makes us very proud, of course!“
