The long-standing partnership between the German Ski Association and Ziener began back in the 2007/2008 season with the provision of gloves and ski clothing for the athletes of the national freestyle and ski cross teams. The basis for this collaboration was the existing cooperation with the DSV's national teaching team, which has been extremely well received by the athletes for years.
In addition, ZIENER has been the official DSV glove supplier for the disciplines of alpine skiing, ski jumping and Nordic combined (here also in ski jumping) since May 1, 2010.
The commitment as a glove supplier in alpine skiing was completed at the start of the 2010 season with the signing of contracts with top German ski racers Felix Neureuther, Maria Höfl-Riesch and Viktoria Rebensburg.
ZIENER stands for more than 70 years of expertise when it comes to the development of innovative, functional ski gloves and ski clothing, which has been consistently pursued over three generations. As a result, ZIENER is the brand that DSV athletes rely on, just as it was 30 years ago.
Company owner Franz Ziener sees something very special in the cooperation with the German Ski Association: “First and foremost, we always feel committed to the quality of our products - but the cooperation with the German Ski Association, with top athletes and international top athletes such as Felix Neureuther is also an obligation for us. When such outstanding athletes wear our products, they can also expect to receive absolute top quality.”
And Frank Burig - responsible for sales at ZIENER - explains the importance of the cooperation, especially for end consumers interested in winter sports: “Our motto ‘made by pros’ stands for new technical developments and the personal experience of an ever-growing group of professional sportspeople and athletes, which we would also like to make accessible to recreational athletes.”
Fritz Hollweck (Head of the DSV clothing pool) emphasizes the far-reaching and important support for the German Ski Association: “We are happy to be able to cooperate so intensively with the Upper Bavarian company. Our top athletes and the many colleagues from the important mass sports segment are absolutely convinced by the professional work of the company and the high quality of ZIENER products.”
