Mainz 05 sponsorship continues
»»KÖMMERLING IS NOW
into the second year of a 3-year
sponsorship deal as the main
sponsor of German Bundesliga
football club Mainz 05.
After a narrow defeat to Borussia
Dortmund at the beginning
of the season the club went on
to record two impressive away
victories against FC Augsburg
and Werder Bremen, and have
since gone on to win a further 2
and draw 1 of their last 6 league
matches, propelling them up the
table. Mainz are now bubbling
under the Europa league places in
10th place on 14 points, sitting
above German giants; Borussia
Monchengladbach, Schalke 04
and last year’s Champions League
quarter- finalists Vfl Wolfsburg.
Along with their league
campaign, Mainz have also been
competing in this seasons Europa

League, Europe’s secondary club
competition, and currently sit in
3rd place in their group after 4
matches. The club will hope to
finish in the top two places and
progress to the knockout stages
of the competition. With the
Kömmerling logo emblazoned on
the front of their shirts, the club’s
recent success has and continues

to expose the brand to millions
of viewers and thousands of fans
across Germany and the rest of
Europe.
Kevin Warner, head of sales
and marketing of Kömmerling
in the UK, commented: “We’re
really getting behind Mainz
05 in the UK and also in other
international markets, where

football is prevalent as a popular
sport. Our hope is that they
progress to the knock out stages,
further exposing the Kömmerling
brand and possibly the
opportunity of a match against
British opposition.”
Mainz could potentially
meet either Southampton or
Manchester United from the
English Premier League in the
next round of the Europa league
if they were to qualify for the
knockout stage. Both teams still
have two games left to play, with
Southampton sitting in 2nd and
Manchester United in 3rd place
in their respective groups.

Investing in safety
»»CHEMICALS SUPPLIER,
Baerlocher UK, has the formula
for ultimate road safety, in the
shape of its new, range-topping
Mercedes-Benz tractor unit.
German-owned Baerlocher,
which runs operations in 14
other countries, specialises in the
production and supply of stabiliser
additives to customers, including
manufacturers of PVC window
profiles. The Bury-based operator
took the opportunity when
ordering the 6x2 Actros 2551 from
Dealer Ciceley Commercials, to
specify an optional safety pack. This
comprises the remarkable Active
Brake Assist 3 system (ABA3), as
well as proximity control assist, a
driver’s airbag, and a large, easy-toread 12.7 cm instrument cluster.
The ABA3 system already
out-performs the requirements
of general safety regulations that

do not come into force until
November 2018, which means
Baerlocher UK is a full two years
ahead of the game.
