FISA Announces Official Partners

FISA, the International Rowing Federation, announced that seven new Official Partners have joined the FISA family of sponsors.

The new official Partners are BBG boat builders of Berlin, Concept II of USA, Empacher boat builders of Germany, Filippi Boats of Italy, Martinoli accessories of Italy, StillWater Design boat builders of USA and Vespoli racing boats of USA.

As rowing manufacturers, each of these companies is close to the sport and work with athletes and federations to provide them with the best performance equipment. Over the years they have become increasingly involved with FISA, providing services and support at FISA events.

“Given the obvious close association these companies have with international rowing and their affiliation with FISA, it was a natural step for us to recognise them as partners,” says FISA Executive Director Matt Smith. “These firms have been providing excellent service to rowing.”

The new partnerships follow extensive support and services from these partners for member federations, universities and grassroots rowing at all levels. For information on each of these Partners, visit the “Partners and Links” section of www.worldrowing.com, the official FISA website.

FISA, the governing body for the sport of rowing, counts 112 member federations.
