Kempa Extends Partnership with TSV St. Otmar St. Gallen

The brand Kempa and the Swiss top handball club St. Otmar St. Gallen are extending their successful collaboration and placing the partnership on a stable long-term foundation.

St. Otmar relies on Kempa for its team and match equipment during training and competition. However, the relationship goes far beyond a traditional supplier agreement: at the heart of the partnership are close collaboration, shared values, and the ambition to continuously develop professional handball in St. Gallen – both on and off the court.

Matthias Schlageter, Managing Director of TSV St. Otmar St. Gallen, emphasizes the importance of the continuation:
“With Kempa, we are extending more than just a supplier contract – we are strengthening a partnership that makes our values visible. At a time when authenticity and team spirit are decisive in sports, I am delighted that we can work with a partner who, over many years of cooperation, has become an integral part of our team. Together we stand for top-level handball with character and identity. This extension is a clear commitment to our path – #zämästoh.”

Kempa also sees the extension as a strong signal. Tim Grothaus, Head of Sponsoring at Kempa, says:
“St. Otmar St. Gallen stands for passion, a long handball tradition, and an environment where young people can develop in the sport of handball. The club is now professionally managed while remaining approachable, with a strong community around its home games. This combination is exactly what makes St. Otmar an ideal partner for Kempa.”

In addition to equipment, the cooperation also includes the joint development of the club’s overall appearance – from the design of team collections to a consistent visual identity across both league and youth levels. The goal is to visibly strengthen St. Otmar’s identity and sustainably expand the club’s brand presence.
