That is why we have strategically realigned our cooperation with the arena as well as effectively prolonged our contract for serving rights for beer as well as special marketing rights into the future. We would like to say thanks to the entire team at the König-Pilsener-ARENA for 20 years of successful, always cooperative as well as constructive partnership to date as well as are proud to continue to be a partner of the arena.
The trusting cooperation is a major reason why we have accomplished the goals we set when we took over the naming rights as well as can now set a new focus.
