The 2008 World Championship Sailing Regatta will consist of four principal World Championships, three of which will be Olympic qualifying events.
This is the last opportunity for some of the countries to secure their participation in 2008 Beijing Olympic Games so competition is expected to be keen. The 2008 World Championships will be attended by more than 620 competitors representing over 40 nations. This international event is expected to be extensively covered by local and world media.
OKI Printing Solutions has been an enthusiastic supporter of prominent New Zealand based yachting competitions and is delighted with its new sponsorship arrangement. The agreement features a unique opportunity for OKI Printing Solutions to showcase its outstanding printing and copying capabilities by serving printing requests of competitors, race management and public in the OKI Printing Center to be established on venue.
Mark Charlesworth, group managing director of Comworth Systems says: "We are proud to be a sponsor of the 2008 World Championship Sailing Regatta. This will create exposure on signage, windsurfer sails on all boats, start and finish line, and on event clothing. It will help to make our brand more visible."
As part of its global brand strategy, OKI Printing Solutions develops strong links with communities and strengthens brand awareness with strategic sponsorships around the world. Other major sponsorships include Portsmouth Football Club in the English Premier League and St. George Illawarra Dragons in the Australian professional rugby league football team.
Mikihiko Maeno, President and CEO for OKI Printing Solutions says: "This sponsorship is an excellent opportunity to expose OKI Printing Solutions brand globally. It is also an opportunity to show our commitment to cooperate with partners which helps us to build lasting business relationships."
