Schüco International KG will soon be sponsoring German golf pro MartinKaymer. The motto of the sponsorship agreement is “Martin Kaymer and Schüco- teeing off for a successful future with Energy2”.

“What brings us together is the professional approach we both take to whatwe do”, states Dirk U. Hindrichs, President and CEO of Schüco, explaininghis company’s new relationship with the two-time winner of the EuropeanTour. Hindrichs also notes that Schüco’s corporate credo, “Energy2 - savingenergy and generating energy”, applies equally well to the world of golf,creating additional common ground.

What might seem to be an unusual partnership at first glance actually showsthat golf and business have a great deal in common: Perfection andprecision are vital not just in golf, but also in the development ofwindows, façades, and solar technology. But even the seeminglycontradictory relationship between love of nature on the one hand andmodern technology on the other is reflected in both golf and the advancedcomponents made by Schüco. The sport combines an intensive experience ofnature with the highest standards of technology and precision. By the sametoken, Schüco products blend innovative technology and energy-efficientsolutions in harmony with nature.

“Striving for the highest standards of professionalism and a strongcommitment to climate protection are both things that matter to me a lot.In Schüco, I’ve found a partner with the same goals that I have. That’s whyI’m so glad to be working together with them”, declares Martin Kaymer. DirkU. Hindrichs, too, sees many parallels between the golf pro and Schüco. Hetakes a bullish view of future cooperation between the two: “This isdefinitely a win-win situation where everybody stands to benefit, includingthe customers. Our corporate philosophy of “Energy2 - saving energy andgenerating energy” represents a whole in one for all of us”, insistsHindrichs.
