Balingen/Hard, 11 December 2025. The brand Kempa and the Austrian top handball club HC ALPLA Hard are extending their successful and trusting collaboration long-term until 2030.
For a decade now, the Red Devils from Lake Constance have relied on Kempa for their team and match equipment. During this time, a stable and steadily growing partnership has evolved, characterized by mutual trust and the shared ambition to continuously set new sporting and organizational impulses. With the newly agreed extension until 2030, both parties reaffirm their long-term commitment and the importance of this cooperation.
HC Hard Managing Director Michi Knauth expresses his great satisfaction:
“I am very pleased about the contract extension with Kempa. After 10 years of close and trusting cooperation, we are continuing our shared path and are proud to extend the agreement until 2030. This long-standing partnership is built on mutual appreciation, professionalism, and shared visions. I greatly value the collaboration with Kempa and am proud to continue having such a strong and reliable supplier at our side. With Kempa, we have a partner that perfectly aligns with our values and objectives. Together, we aim to continue acting responsibly and promoting sustainable solutions. In short: 10 years of partnership – and we’re far from finished!”
The long-term contract extension underscores the importance Kempa places on sustainable and reliable partnerships. With its continuous work, strong fan base, and professional structures, HC ALPLA Hard represents values that harmonize perfectly with Kempa’s brand identity.
Kempa also welcomes the continuation of the partnership with great enthusiasm.
Tim Grothaus, Head of Sponsoring at Kempa: “Kempa and HC ALPLA Hard are now linked by a partnership of several years. The club is managed professionally and with a modern approach. I value the home matches of the Red Devils from Lake Constance not only for their fantastic atmosphere but also because of the familiar environment around the court. With these qualities, the club is an ideal ambassador for our brand.”
The cooperation goes far beyond pure equipment supply: Together, Kempa and HC ALPLA Hard work to visibly strengthen the club’s identity – from the design of team collections to unified appearances across the league and the youth teams.
