RIMOWA, one of the world’s leading manufacturers of luggage, has been named as an official partner of the VELUX EHF FINAL4, the final phase of the VELUX EHF Champions League.

The new deal, signed just a few weeks before the highlight of the VELUX EHF Champions League 2010/2011 season throws off, will see the Germany-based company presenting its brand at the VELUX EHF FINAL4, the biggest club handball event of the year, which takes place in the LANXESS arena, Cologne on 28 and 29 May 2011.

The international brand will be presented on backdrops and in promotional materials.

The company will also produce two very special and individual cases for the VELUX EHF FINAL4, a carrying case for the VELUX EHF Champions League trophy and a case for the VELUX EHF Champions League Top Scorer trophy.
