1. SIMONIS AND ARAMITH WIN THE CEB TENDERS
SIMONIS AND ARAMITH WIN THE CEB TENDERS concerning the exclusive partnerships for cloths and balls.
CEB is delighted to announce an extension to the current partnership with their official cloth partner Simonis and with their official balls partner Aramith for a further 4 years, to the end of 2029.
This will result in all CEB events continuing to be played on the superb Simonis cloth which is the reference of carom with its superior playability at a high level. In addition, CEB has also extended its current contract with Aramith the balls, which are also the reference since a long time for carom balls. All CEB events up to the end of 2029 will feature the Aramith balls which are generally accepted as the highest quality product available.
CEB President Diane Wild: "This new four-year contract with our long-time partners Simonis & Aramith confirms the close cooperation between CEB and these 2 brands. Our sports(wo)men deserve the best conditions to have the key to performance. With Simonis/Aramith they can be sure of that!”
Jérôme Poncelet (Group Commercial Director): “The level of technical skills Carom requires to master ball positioning, spin and all its other aspects leaves no room for approximation. With Aramith balls and Simonis cloths, our partners offer players the ultimate combination for speed and accuracy. We are proud to renew and strengthen these historic partnerships and to support the international development of this beautiful sport.”
