STV and Ochsner Sport extend until 2031
The Swiss Gymnastics Federation is extending its partnerships with Ochsner Sport and Jako until at least 2031. Both partners are expanding their commitment - for around 375,000 gymnasts throughout Switzerland.
STV and Ochsner Sport focus on continuity
The Swiss Gymnastics Federation (STV) and Ochsner Sport are continuing their collaboration with Jako for a further six years. The partnerships will now run until at least 2031 - and will be expanded at the same time: Ochsner Sport will act as a Platinum Partner in future, while Jako will take on the status of Silver Partner. For the approximately 375,000 gymnasts in the 2,650 Swiss clubs, this means long-term reliability in terms of equipment and clothing.
In Swiss gymnastics, the importance of club clothing goes far beyond pure sports equipment. Whether at training, championships, gymnastics festivals or club outings - uniform outfits stand for cohesion, pride and identity. For many clubs, clothing is a visible expression of community and an important part of the Swiss club landscape.
«With Ochsner Sport and Jako, we have two strong and reliable partners at our side who know the sport of gymnastics inside out. The fact that both partnerships will be expanded and continued until at least 2031 is an important sign of stability and continuity in Swiss gymnastics,» says Fabio Corti, Central President of the STV.
Ochsner Sport: Proximity to the clubs as the core of the brand
As the largest sporting goods retailer in Switzerland with around 100 stores, Ochsner Sport has established itself as a reliable equipment partner for the association and clubs in recent years. CEO Horst Hauer emphasizes the strategic fit: «Switzerland is our sports arena - and gymnastics is a central part of it. Proximity to the clubs, trust and enthusiasm for movement are deeply rooted in our DNA. That is precisely why this partnership with the largest polysport association in Switzerland is such a good fit for us.»
Jako: Quality and shared values
The German team sports specialist Jako has become one of the most popular clothing brands in Swiss gymnastics thanks to its high quality, reliable delivery and wide range of products. «At Jako, »We are team' embodies values such as integration, inclusion and the joy of playing sport together. STV shares precisely these values. That's why we're delighted to continue equipping the gymnasts with high-quality sportswear in the future," says Tobias Röschl, Head of Marketing & Sales at Jako.
Equipment for the 2027 World Gymnaestrada in Lisbon
The partnership is not limited to everyday club life. The STV's national squads and international delegations will also be kitted out by Ochsner Sport and Jako. This includes the delegation to the 2027 World Gymnaestrada in Lisbon, where Switzerland will be represented as the largest delegation with more than 4,000 participants. An exclusive special collection with the relief of the Matterhorn has been developed for this event.
With the extension of the contract and the expansion of the partnership, the STV, Ochsner Sport and Jako are sending out a joint signal for quality, reliability and the long-term development of Swiss gymnastics.
