Sponsorship

Not only commercial interests

For Duravit, sponsorship has both a commercial and a social dimension. Duravit supports many smaller associations in order to strengthen the regions in which it has production facilities, particularly in terms of "human relations". The larger and better-known sponsored clubs include the Grün-Weiß Mannheim tennis club and the Rhein-Neckar Löwen handball team.

Tennis

Duravit x Marta Kostyuk

Duravit welcomes Ukrainian tennis player Marta Kostyuk as its new global brand ambassador, further strengthening the company’s commitment to international professional sports. This partnership reinforces Duravit’s global brand vision and ensures a strong presence on the world’s most prestigious tennis courts.

German Handball League

Sponsorship of the Rhein-Neckar Lions

The Rhein-Neckar Lions are the flagship team of the Rhine-Neckar metropolitan region in the DKB Handball Bundesliga. Since advancing to Germany's top division, the club has become one of the most popular handball clubs worldwide. Thanks to regular live TV broadcasts of league games and all Champions League matches, the Lions, Duravit, and all other Lions partners also enjoy high TV visibility and extensive media coverage. The trusting partnership between Duravit and the Rhein-Neckar Lions has underscored their shared goal of achieving success through peak performance for over ten years.

Field and indoor hockey

Sponsorship of the Mannheim HC

Duravit is a long-standing partner and jersey sponsor of the Mannheim Hockey Club 1907 e.V. teams.

The Mannheim Hockey Club is located near the Feudenheim Lock, directly on the banks of the Neckar Canal. In summer, matches are played on two artificial turf pitches and in winter in the IRMA-RÖCHLING-HALLE. A total of around 60 teams take part in official matches on the field and in the hall. Eleven teams are registered in the adult division. Both the first women's and the first men's team play in the first national league in the field and in the hall.

Surrounded by nature

Sponsorship of the Black Forest Nature Park

The Black Forest is one of the most beautiful landscapes in Germany and a world-famous holiday destination. In order to preserve and carefully develop this, it almost goes without saying that Duravit became a sponsor and partner from the outset when the Black Forest Central/North Nature Park was founded in December 2000.

Sanitary and heating trade

Training initiative "Time to Start"

The aim of the nationwide training initiative for careers in the plumbing, heating and ventilation trade is to show young people the versatility of careers in the plumbing, heating and ventilation trade. Whether for an internship or an apprenticeship, applications can be conveniently made directly through "Zeit zu Starten". In addition, a wealth of information on the individual trades and insights into the respective day-to-day work can be found. We at Duravit support this initiative as a sponsor.
