LEIBINGER is giving away 500 personalized soccer balls

The 68th “Heuberg Wanderpokal soccer tournament” is coming up this Whitsun and the whole region is already looking forward to it!

The CEO of LEIBINGER, Christina Leibinger, is also eagerly awaiting this event. For her and for the entire company, this year’s choice of venue has a special significance. “In 1948, our company founder, Paul Leibinger, started this business in Stetten an der Donau. That is just a 13 minute drive away from Renquishausen. Even all those years ago, some residents of the Heuberg region came to Stetten to work at LEIBINGER. In 1966, my father, Günther Leibinger, founded his own subsidiary in Renquishausen and it remained there up until 1999 - the year we constructed our new building and relocated all four of our regional locations to Tuttlingen.

Everyone employed at the Renquishausen site was offered a transfer to Tuttlingen at this time, greatly valued as they were as extremely reliable and hard-working employees. A description just as applicable today, 76 years later. Right up to the present day, we are delighted to have many employees from Renquishausen and the surrounding area working at our head office location in Tuttlingen. The tournament ’Heuberger 2024’ will therefore have a special surprise in store”.

Rooted in the region

LEIBINGER has roots in this region extending back over three generations. This Swabian family business has made a name for itself worldwide as an expert in the coding & marking industry. Without doubt, everyone will at some point have held a product in their hands that has been marked by an industrial printer from LEIBINGER. The wide range of applications extends from best-before dates on yogurt pots and barcodes on beverage bottles to 2D codes on cosmetic products or batch numbers on electronic products. LEIBINGER printers reliably code & mark a wide variety of materials in product lines around the world. They can even perform their magic on soccer balls!

Giving away 500 individually named soccer balls

As a Platinum Plus sponsor and the donor of the ball for the final match, LEIBINGER is demonstrating its commitment to the region and its flexibility in coding & marking by giving away 500 soccer balls at the LEIBINGER pavilion on the day of the final, each bearing the name of the person collecting it. This distinctively personal touch is accomplished by the new LEIBINGER IQJET. It is the world’s first intelligent coding & marking system, defining new standards in terms of efficiency and sustainability.

With body and soul for soccer

The sponsor and the organizers are all equally delighted with the event and with this bespoke marking initiative. Christina Leibinger on sponsoring the Heuberg Wanderpokal soccer tournament: “In terms of the depth and breadth of its popularity, soccer - which is ‘football’ to us - remains the Number 1 sport in Germany. Here in this region, we are also strongly represented. The Heuberg Wanderpokal showcases this fact, and it makes a great contribution towards upholding this important sporting culture. We greatly appreciate this and take great pleasure in supporting it”.

The event organizer is jubilant

The club chairman and organizer of the tournament, Helmut Müller, is also delighted: “A challenge cup event like this would be unthinkable without sponsors. I feel that LEIBINGER’s additional commitment with these free soccer balls is a great thing! This campaign appeals in particular to young people and it motivates them to take part in our greatly loved turf sport. Something which is more important today than ever before. On May 20, the day of the final, I am quite sure that we shall be seeing some smiling faces on the players who will be our guests at the big match, especially on those carrying one of these unmistakable 'LEIBINGER balls' under their arms. A really great thing to be looking forward to and a clarion call to all fans, friends, and supporters: Come along, everyone! It’s worth doing, and it’s incredibly good fun”.
