Bundesliga giants Borussia Dortmund have announced a regional partnership with leading German brand Stiebel Eltron in Thailand and Laos for the next two years.
The eight-time German champions have considerable following in the South East Asian market and their association with Stiebel Eltron, who also have a huge presence in the same market, is expected to be of mutual benefit.
Stiebel Eltron is one of the world's leading manufacturers of water heaters, water filters and hand dryers. Dortmund see South East Asia as a key area and such deals only strengthen their footprint in the area.
Benedikt Scholz, Head of International and New Business for Borussia Dortmund said: “We are thrilled to announce our cooperation with Stiebel Eltron, a top named German brand which also has a huge and proud presence in our key Asian markets.”
"This is an exciting venture for both of our organisations and we are determined to bring our black and yellow passion on the pitch to Thailand and Laos," echoed Suresh Letchmanan, BVB Asia Pacific Managing Director.
