Karbon commits to SSA

Published Sun 16 Oct 2016

Ski & Snowboard Australia (SSA) is pleased to confirm the ongoing commitment of KARBON as its official clothing partner.  The commitment by Karbon aligns with the existing support of the OWIA programs and the Australian Olympic Winter Teams through to 2018.

KARBON has been a tremendous supporter of wintersports for well over a decade having supplied outerwear and competition uniforms for athletes and coaches across the winter sports institute programs since 2003. Additionally, Karbon has provided National Team outerwear to Australia’s Alpine Ski Team as an extension of the support offered to the OWIA and will continue to do so going forward.

KARBON’S Australian representative Edward Fortey says, “The KARBON brand has become synonymous with performance wintersports in Australia thanks to partnerships with organisations such as OWIA, AOC and SSA. To that end we are pleased that the majority of SSA pathway programs such as race clubs and freestyle programs support the brand and the investment into the high performance pathway by choosing KARBON as their uniform partners.”

SSA CEO Michael Kennedy added, “KARBON continue to be a generous and invaluable partner for our sport as a whole. In addition to the enormous volume of outerwear supplied across multiple SSA sport programs and pathways each year, there is additional financial support to SSA including sponsorship of our annual Ski & Snowboard Awards. We look forward to supporting and growing the partnership into the future.”
