Kiwa and KNRB extend and strengthen partnership
Kiwa has extended its successful collaboration with the Royal Dutch Rowing Federation (KNRB) for another two years. Since 1992, Kiwa has supported the Dutch rowing team, and the Kiwa logo will continue to feature prominently on the boats of TeamNL Rowing as they prepare for the 2026 World Rowing Championships in Amsterdam.
This partnership renewal highlights Kiwa’s commitment to quality, safety, and sustainability - values central not only to Kiwa’s services but also to top-level sports. Together with the KNRB, Kiwa is dedicated to fostering a strong and safe sports environment where both elite and recreational rowers can thrive. The partnership also focuses on inspiring new generations of rowers and strengthening a culture of collaboration and growth within Dutch rowing.
Unwavering support
KNRB chair Seada van den Herik is pleased that the partnership with Kiwa will continue in the years ahead: ‘We are grateful to Kiwa for their trust in the future of TeamNL Rowing and the national rowing community. Since 1992, Kiwa has supported Dutch rowing and thanks to their unwavering support, we can continue to pursue our ambitions and make a lasting impact on both elite and grassroots rowing, both on and off the water.’
Reaching new heights
Sander Tulfer, CFO of Kiwa Netherlands, adds: ‘We are proud to continue our collaboration with the KNRB. It’s impressive to see TeamNL Rowing excel time and again, from the historic successes of the Holland Eight to the recent achievements in Paris. This partnership reflects our shared core values - dedication, ambition and trust. We look forward to further supporting the rowing community and reaching new heights together.’
Ambassadors
Through this partnership, Kiwa remains a trusted partner of TeamNL Rowing while also contributing to the growth of the rowing community in the Netherlands, both on and off the water. Furthermore, Kiwa views this collaboration as an opportunity to connect with student rowers and young professionals. As active participants in the sport, they are not only potential future employees but also ambassadors who embody Kiwa’s values in action.
