Halti is the official supplier of Slovenian Biathlon Team

Halti strengthens its visibility in winter sports once again. Earlier this fall, Halti announced its partnership with the Finnish Biathlon Team, and now Halti’s sponsorship portfolio expands to include Slovenian biathletes. Through the agreement signed with the Ski Association of Slovenia , Halti becomes the Official Supplier of the Slovenian National Biathlon Team. The highlights of the two-year agreement are the IBU World Championships in Slovenia in 2021 and the Winter Olympics in Beijing in 2022.

“Slovenia is a potential and growing market area for us, so we want to increase our visibility and brand awareness there. Slovenia is full of sports fans and biathlon has become one of the most followed sports. Biathlon has been the most followed winter sport in Europe for several consecutive years, so this partnership will give us visibility among biathlon fans across Central Europe.” , says Aki Kuusilehto, CEO of Halti.

Halti has worked with some of the world’s top athletes for more than 40 years. Product development and testing have been key elements of these partnerships. Leading athletes use Halti clothing and equipment in demanding conditions and provide valuable feedback that supports the continuous development of our products.

Alongside the Slovenian and Finnish national biathlon teams, Halti supplies clothing for the Finnish national teams in cross-country skiing, ski jumping and Nordic combined, as well as individual Team Halti athletes in various sports. The staff of the International Ski Federation (FIS) also wear Halti.

“Two very challenging winter seasons are ahead for the Slovenian Biathlon Team, as we have the home IBU World Championships in Pokljuka 2021 and the Olympic Winter Games in Beijing 2022. We are extremely happy to have reached an agreement with a new supplier of sports equipment, Halti. Our team will receive a great deal of media exposure, which increases the visibility of the Halti brand, and at the same time our athletes will use state-of-the-art equipment in demanding weather conditions, which is important for achieving top results.” , says Blaž Repinc, President of the Slovenia Biathlon Assembly.
