Toshiba Air Conditioning - Toshiba to sponsor the Rugby World
Cup 2007
Toshiba Corporation has announced that it will be a
Tournament Sponsor of the Rugby World Cup 2007 to be
held in France, Wales and Scotland this autumn.
As a result, in the UK, Toshiba Air Conditioning will be
running a number of promotions and competitions related
to rugby in the run-up to the event. This support for
sporting excellence follows a successful sponsorship of
the FIFA World Cup by the company last year. “UK
customers will be anticipating being able to watch the
rugby with us, as they did the football,” said UK
Commercial Director David MacRae.
On a global level, Toshiba has a long-standing
commitment to sport. It currently owns a top league team
in Japan – the Toshiba Brave Lupus.
Mr Takahiro Ishii, the President and CEO of Toshiba
Europe Ltd, said “Toshiba has always been a big
supporter of rugby and we are extremely pleased to be
associated with this exciting and prestigious event. The
Rugby World Cup is a driving force in the game with a
long and proud heritage and we are very honoured to be
sponsoring an event which brings together countries from
around the world.”
International Rugby Board Chairman, Dr Syd Millar, added
“the provision of electronics hardware is crucial to the
successful delivery of a tournament the size of the
Rugby World Cup and we are delighted that Toshiba, a
world leader in the electronics field, has joined the
impressive list of Tournament Sponsors for Rugby World
Cup 2007.”
