Borosil inks multi-year partnership with Pro Kabaddi team Haryana Steelers

Borosil will extend commercial support to Pro Kabaddi franchisee Haryana Steelers as the Principal Partner of the team.

Borosil Glass Works Ltd., India’s leading consumer products brand, has today (Thursday) announced an association with VIVO Pro Kabaddi team Haryana Steelers for a three-year period.

Through this association, the Borosil Glass will be supporting the Kabaddi franchise. The brand will also be piloting an awareness campaign about the dangers of plastic for their health and the environment. Borosil’s first association with a sports team franchise in the country will also mean the brand’s debut in Kabaddi. Prior to this, Borosil has also joined hands with the Indian Olympic Association and the Inspire Institute of Sport.

Borosil will provide the team with high food-grade quality stainless steel and glass products that are safe, healthy and environment-friendly. Their campaign to reduce plastic waste is also in line with the Steelers’ larger campaign this season to ‘go green’, which they started with the implementation of a paperless ticketing system for all home games at the Motilal Nehru School of Sport, Rai, Sonepat between October 12-18.

Speaking on the partnership, Mr. Shreevar Kheruka, Managing Director, Borosil Glass Works Ltd. said, “I am very happy to announce our association with the Haryana Steelers. We are glad to support the team and find synergy in their green initiative. We will support them to facilitate plastic free zones at their home games. At Borosil, it is our long term endeavour to support athletes across different disciplines of sports and celebrate their efforts and victories.”
