Kömmerling extend partnership with Mainz 05 until 2027

profine GmbH and Mainz 05 have agreed to an early contract extension that will see the club continue to don the KÖMMERLING logo on their shirts until 2027. The world’s leading supplier of PVC profiles for doors and windows has extended their partnership as Mainz 05’s main and shirt sponsor – which was set to run out in 2024 – by a further three years until 2027. As part of the extension, the stand opposite the main stand in the MEWA ARENA will be renamed the KÖMMERLING stand as of the 2023/24 season.

Continuation of a successful partnership

“Our partnership with KÖMMERLING has been defined by a mutual appreciation from both parties since the very beginning, and this relationship has only grown stronger over the years. profine GmbH have not only stuck by us in good times but during challenging ones as well, including the global Covid-19 pandemic. They have proven to be a loyal, reliable and close partner of the Zerofivers,” said Stefan Hofmann, chairman of 1. FSV Mainz 05. He added, “We are incredibly proud that one of the biggest employers in Rhineland-Palatinate, who are also a global player in their field, have once again chosen to agree to an early extension of our partnership agreement. This is testament to a close bond, common values and a deeply rooted presence in our home state, as well as a high level of trust in one another. We are looking forward to the upcoming years, in which we want to continue to be successful alongside profine GmbH.”

This extension of our previous partnership agreement is a logical next step for our brand direction as well as our close cooperation with the club, which goes far beyond a basic sponsorship agreement.

The partnership with profine GmbH as a main and shirt sponsor is the longest-running one in Mainz’s history as a professional football club, with KÖMMERLING emblazoned on the club’s shirts since 2015. On a purely partnership level, profine GmbH and Mainz 05 have been cooperating since 2014 already. KÖMMERLING have been the shirt sponsor of the TSV SCHOTT Mainz women’s team since summer 2022, with plans to integrate the team fully into the Mainz 05 setup in summer 2023.

“Following the realignment of our KÖMMERLING brand last year on the occasion of its 125-year anniversary, we laid out plans for a strategic shift in direction. KÖMMERLING stands for sustainability and will continue to ensure this topic is highlighted in its communications work. This brand philosophy fits hand in hand with the values of 1. FSV Mainz 05 as a leader in carbon neutrality, as well as with their various initiatives in the field of social responsibility,” said Dr. Peter Mrosik, managing partner of profine GmbH. “This extension of our previous partnership agreement is a logical next step for our brand direction as well as our close cooperation with the club, which goes far beyond a basic sponsorship agreement. Our brand partnership is a success story in both our areas of operation, and the influence of our long-standing partner Mainz 05 provides an excellent basis on which to continue positioning KÖMMERLING as an authentic, sustainable and premium window brand. I’m looking forward to several more successful years with 1. FSV Mainz 05.”

Marco Sautner, managing director of Infront Germany, commented: “KÖMMERLING and the Zerofivers share many common values and goals. Both have deep roots in the region, which make for a strong duo. This long-standing partnership at the highest level is an excellent example of a successful sponsorship in sports, because an early contract extension signifies that there is a healthy level of trust and intact synergies present. We are very pleased to be able to accompany both parties on this journey, and that KÖMMERLING will continue to be a loyal partner of FSV.”
