Higher, faster, further: our sporting commitment
The HARTING Technology Group has had a close relationship to sports for decades; our various commitments range from youth development to top-class sport.
As one of the leading employers in Minden-Lübbecke, we are actively involved in sports – both within and outside of our region. These commitments along with our broad dedication to cultural affairs are important to us. We encourage sporting activities – from small sports club to Bundesliga handball teams – because they promote team spirit and a healthy lifestyle.
Handball enthusiasts at HARTING
For many years, we have been the main sponsor of the Bundesliga handball team GWD Minden and their youth activities. We have also started sponsoring the German Handball Federation (DHB).
GWD Minden
At our location in Minden, we are the main sponsor of the Bundesliga team GWD Minden: this includes the main club TSV GWD Minden with its youth teams as well as the GWD Minden Handball Bundesliga GmbH & Co. KG.
As Philip Harting stated, "Our commitment, as shareholder and long-term main sponsor, is a clear sign of our dedication to this club and to the region."
German Handball Federation
In addition to sponsoring GWD Minden, the HARTING Technology Group is also a premium partner with the German Handball Federation (DHB). Our logo was placed on the players' pants during the 2018 European Championship in Croatia, which was a real eye-catcher! The 2019 World Cup was also a special event with HARTING's commitment.
"50 Years and 50 Projects Supporting Sports"
Our CEO Philip Harting and his father Dietmar are sponsors and active supporters of the campaign "50 Years and 50 Projects Supporting Sports", which was launched on the 50th anniversary of the Deutsche Sporthilfe Foundation with a reception at the Federal Chancellery. This initiative implements projects outside the regular funding budget.
