Michael J. Tusiani, New York Yankees Senior Vice President Corporate Sales & Sponsorships added, “We are excited about our sponsorship with Kowa, and hope that its Yankee Stadium promotional activation will increase sales for its licensed products and strengthen its global brand awareness.”
As part of the sponsorship deal, Vantelin will receive a product information kiosk at select home games this season, at which it will have product samples on display and ambassadors demonstrating its products.
Introduced for the first time to U.S. Consumers in 2014, Vantelin Supports offer unique and innovative consumer benefits, some of which have never been seen before in the U.S. market.
Vantelin Support is the #1 joint support brand in the Japan Marketplace and offers differentiating consumer benefits such as combined kinesiology taping and compression into one, comfortable all-day wear-ability with lightweight, breathable and moisture-wicking fabric, reducing fatigue in the legs. The products are great for everyday use, weekend warriors as well as for professionals and college athletes.
