in the German National Team, over 400 guests from Sport and Business
and dozens of representatives from TV and the press as the official
trailer provider to the National German Biathlon teams.
The multiple Olympic Champions and multiple World Champions
Magdalena Neuner, Michael Greis, Andrea Henkel and Arnd Peiffer and
the President of the German Ski Association, Alfons Hörmann, received

athletes and their service technicians.

The sturdy three-axle box semi-trailer Kögel Box is insulated. Its walls
are made of multi-layer bonded panels. It therefore provides optimum
working conditions for the athletes' service team for waxing and
preparation of the cross-country skis, even if the outside temperatures
are very low. The trailer is fitted with several workplaces for the service
technicians, grinding machines, ski-racks and changing rooms. Special
Dometic Seitz windows provide the best heat insulation and clear vision
to the outside.
The Kögel box trailers are used throughout Europe for the transporting of
sensitive goods where the protection of the load from environmental
influences or theft is of importance.
"Motivated
athletes,
such
as
the
multiple
Olympic
Champions
Magdalena Neuner and Michael Greis embody the values of the Kögel
company: indigenous, dynamic, authentic and successful“, explained
Volker Seitz, Communications Manager, as the commitment of Kögel.
The German biathletes will experience great events in the next few
months. Next February and March we have the World Championships in
our native Ruhpolding. Then we have the World Cups. And it's not long
now to the next Winter Olympics.
"As a previous member of the National German Athletics Team, I know
that a professional framework environment is extremely important for
performance athletes. Kögel is therefore pleased to provide support for
the DSV Team“, continues Seitz.

Kögel, a brand with over 75 years of tradition, which has attained first
place throughout Europe, is back with renewed force and their
unmistakable experience and competence. With the takeover of Kögel in
2009, Ulrich Humbaur assumed an active entrepreneurial role which
gave the brand the stability and continuity it deserves. This is further
consolidated by the very sturdy equity ratio that Ulrich Humbaur has
made available to his companies. Kögel has rediscovered itself by
returning to the strengths that made it great in the first place: Quality
characterized by engineering.
In addition to the products for the
forwarding industry, there are now models for the building and
construction industry, one that is not an entirely new sphere for Kögel.
