REHBAND ANNOUNCES ITS SPONSORSHIP OF THE ATHLETE GAMES, JANUARY 29-30 2016 IN LONDON, UK

With the company announcing that it has entered into a partnership with Xendurance we are further expanding our presence in the world of functional fitness”, says Peter Lenerius, CEO of Rehband.

The sponsorship will go into effect with Rehband taking part in the Athlete Games 2016. Along with a vendor booth at the event, the collaboration includes several marketing activities. The two brands share a common mission: to design and create scientifically developed products that meet the rigorous demands of elite athletes and enable the full potential of all active people.

“Rehband leads the way in bracing and supports for functional fitness and our athletes will benefit tremendously from a partnership with this world-class brand. This event is designed with the specific purpose of bringing together the fittest athletes from around the UK, Europe and beyond, offering them the chance to compete for the desirable victor. Through its support of events like the Athlete Games, Rehband has shown a tremendous commitment to supporting the European fitness community and we are thrilled to have them onboard!”, says Jim Peskett, General Manager, Xendurance Europe.
