Lebrun Brothers’ Sponsor Says Long Contracts Are Unusual but Talks Are Underway for Extension to 2036
Lebrun brothers table tennis sponsorship contract Tibhar: Tibhar owner Roland Berg says the French stars' contract, extended to 2032, is unusually long, with talks under way on a possible extension to 2036 as the brand highlights strong fan demand after the WTT Montpellier tournament.
Lebrun brothers table tennis sponsorship contract Tibhar, Digi Mart USA News: The equipment maker sponsoring French table tennis players Félix and Alexis Lebrun is enjoying the success of its partnership with the two stars, and could soon extend its commitment to them until 2036.
About ten days earlier, disappointment had set in. Considered one of the main favorites at the WTT Montpellier tournament in front of their home crowd, Félix Lebrun was eliminated in the second round by China’s Zhou Qihao.
The day before, his brother Alexis had been knocked out in his first match against Germany’s Patrick Franziska.
Despite these setbacks, the brothers have achieved strong commercial success. “I don’t hide that even in table tennis, it isn’t normal to have contracts this long,” Roland Berg told Midi Libre.
“But two years ago, we extended until 2032. We are already negotiating for the future, perhaps an extension to 2036, although it is still a bit early.”
Berg, owner of the German brand Tibhar, which sponsors the Lebrun brothers, expressed enthusiasm about the partnership. “When you enter the hall, you think you’re in a football stadium.
You see the fans wearing the players’ jerseys, and that is a trend we almost only see in France,” he said.
The equipment maker did not disclose sales figures for products sold during the WTT Montpellier tournament. However, the large number of spectators wearing Tibhar products suggests the brand’s marketing effort in the Hérault region was successful.
“It is very important for a brand like ours to have top-level players, top 10 players like Alexis and Félix,” Berg continued. “It is important internationally, not only for France, but for Asia, China, Japan, South Korea, the major table tennis markets.”
