Molten, the world’s largest manufacturer of inflatable balls, has been appointed as the official ball supplier to British Universities & Colleges Sport (BUCS), the national organisation for higher education sport in the UK.
Under the terms of the agreement, Molten will supply BUCS with a range of balls for six of its sporting programmes, including basketball, football, futsal, korfball, volleyball and water polo.
The Molten balls will be used as the official match ball at the knockout stages and championship finals of each of the six sports. The agreement will also offer BUCS members and teams the opportunity to buy balls and associated sports equipment at discounted rates.
Siôn Williams, commercial manager at BUCS, says: “BUCS is pleased to welcome Molten as an official supplier to the organisation. Molten provides a range of high quality balls, all with international federation approval, including FIBA, FIFA, FIVA and IKF. This agreement will make the supply of equipment to our members and student athletes much simpler and cost-effective and we are looking forward to building a successful relationship with Molten to help deliver excellent customer service to our members.”
Bob Hope, chairman of Molten Sports, added: “We are delighted to have been appointed the official ball supplier to BUCS for its university and college championships and finals. All Molten balls are world class and, in the lead-up to the London Olympics in 2012, it is important that our top universities and colleges have the best sports equipment available.”
