CONTRACT EXTENSION BETWEEN SWISS-SKI AND REUSCH
The glove specialist and the Swiss Ski Pool agreed on an early extension of the successful cooperation until 2026. At that time the partnership between the Swiss Ski Pool and Reusch will already exist for 40 years.
In addition to the gloves, Reusch also ensures that all the athletes, coaches and staff of the Swiss-Ski Alpine squads dress a functional headwear that corresponds to their individual needs and styles with the right caps, headbands and beanies. Additionally to Alpine Skiing and Ski Jumping, Reusch will also cover the Swiss Ski disciplines Skicross, Aerials and Moguls as glove supplier under the new agreement. The glove specialist is looking forward to the exciting further cooperation with the Swiss Ski Teams.
"You can only enter into an eight-year contract if everything fits perfectly in terms of technology, materials and, above all, partnership-based trust. In the past, Reusch has repeatedly proven that they are very innovative in the further development of materials and gloves. Like us at Swiss-Ski, they are very ambitious to move forward."
