HARTING sponsors Men's European Handball Championship
As an official partner of Men's EHF EURO 2026, the European Men's Handball Championship in Scandinavia, the HARTING Technology Group is presenting itself on the international sporting stage. The European Handball Championship will take place from 15 January to 1 February in Denmark, Sweden and Norway.
HARTING is involved as an official partner, supporting both the organisers and the German national team, and will be present at all matches in the arenas.
“We are proud to send a clear signal of sportsmanship, fair play and passion at the Men's EHF EURO 2026,” emphasises Philip Harting, Chief Executive Officer of the HARTING Technology Group. During the tournament, the HARTING logo will be visible on the floor of the playing field at all matches and digitally on the EHF website. Plans include LED advertising banners, floor stickers, press walls and online banners. In addition, the distinctive HARTING logo will once again adorn the shorts of the German national team.
“We are already in handball fever and are really looking forward to the European Championship,” Philip Harting continues. “After the world championship successes of our U17 and U19 junior teams, we hope that the men’s national team can now continue this performance. As a premium partner and youth sponsor of the German Handball Federation and partner of the Men’s EHF EURO 2026, we are keeping our fingers crossed.”
Handball has a special significance for HARTING, as the sport embodies values such as team spirit, dynamic energy and reliability – characteristics that are also of central importance to the company and its employees. The East Westphalian company has been supporting handball at regional level for many decades, including as a sponsor of Bundesliga first division club GWD Minden. HARTING made its debut on the international stage in 2018 at the European Championships in Croatia, when its logo appeared for the first time on the shorts of the German national team. Since then, HARTING has been a premium partner and youth sponsor of the German Handball Federation (DHB) and has accompanied the national team at World and European Championships as well as other international tournaments. The partnership has been extended several times and currently continues until at least 2027.
