Sports partnerships


Sport provides special moments

 

 

Sport stands for dynamism and liveliness, for discipline and perseverance, for fairness and respect. Just like Melitta.

Sports partnerships are therefore an essential part of our brand communication. Because our brands stand for passion, emotion, inspiration and quality.


 

Our Sports Partnerships
 

We are involved in sports at international, national and regional level. As part of our international and national sports partnership with Real Madrid and Borussia Dortmund, we support successful, traditional and widely known teams that stand for passion, emotion and joie de vivre. With our regional sports partnerships, we support clubs near our headquarters in Minden/Westphalia.
