Our support for the sport
Motivation, ambition, team play and efficiency are important factors behind the success of our company. For this reason, we feel a particularly close connection to the world of competitive sports. In addition to our worldwide engagement in social programmes, we also promote and support selected sporting events and local teams.
German Men’s Eight team
Wilo has been the main sponsor of the German Men’s Eight since 2010 and it accompanied the team successfully to the 2012 Olympic Games in London, where the legendary eight won gold. The Wilo-Foundation also jumped on board in 2013 as a promoter of the sport. At the start of the 2015 season, Wilo expanded its sponsoring commitments to include the whole team. Now, the other two boats in the rowing team, the pair and four, are also part of the Wilo fleet. The partnership between Wilo and the German Men’s Eight team goes far beyond the sport itself. As part of its extensive engagement, Wilo also supports the athletes at the Dortmund performance centre in their professional education.
