Berlin, September 2025
Tornado, a leading manufacturer of custom drive solutions, has officially announced its partnership with Füchse Berlin, one of Germany's most successful and dynamic handball clubs. As the official partner for the 2025/26 season, Tornado reaffirms its commitment to performance, precision, and long-term success.
A club full of tradition and success
Founded in 1891, Füchse Berlin has a long and proud history in German sports. While the club is deeply rooted in the Berlin community, its rise on the international handball stage over the past two decades has been particularly remarkable.
After being promoted to the Handball Bundesliga in 2007, the team quickly established itself as a force to be reckoned with in Germany's top league. Since then, Füchse Berlin has consistently competed at the highest level, establishing a reputation for speed, tactical prowess, and resilience. Their accomplishments include winning the EHF Cup in 2015 and 2018, followed by the prestigious EHF European League in 2023.
Home games are played at the legendary Max-Schmeling-Halle in Berlin, a venue known for its electric atmosphere and loyal fan base. With its blend of tradition and modern success, Füchse Berlin represents a brand that resonates strongly not only in Berlin, but throughout the global handball community.
Tornado: Driving Innovation
Founded in 1897, Tornado has built a strong reputation as a global provider of high-performance drive technologies used in industries such as industrial door automation, accessibility, and stage technology.
Tornado solutions are known for precision, reliability and innovation and are trusted by companies that demand uncompromising efficiency and long-lasting quality.
With over a century of experience, Tornado has continually pushed the boundaries of technology, offering products designed to keep the industry moving—literally and figuratively.
This focus on reliability and high performance makes the company an ideal partner for a world-class sports company. Just as Tornado's engines power a variety of systems around the world, Füchse Berlin storms the handball court with speed, power, and unwavering focus.
Common values: performance, teamwork and resilience
At the heart of the partnership between Tornado and Füchse Berlin are a set of shared values. Both organizations place great emphasis on performance under pressure, continuous development, and the importance of teamwork.
In elite handball, every movement must be precise, every play carefully calculated, and every player must be able to adapt to changing conditions on the fly. Likewise, Tornado's drive systems are designed to deliver absolute precision, stability, and control—qualities that are crucial in industries where reliability cannot be compromised.
The collaboration is therefore more than just sponsorship: it is a meeting of two worlds that thrive on discipline, innovation and determination to succeed.
A partnership for the future
When Tornado partners with Füchse Berlin for the 2025/26 season, both sides enter into a collaboration that emphasizes not only visibility but also mutual growth. While the sponsorship underscores Tornado's commitment to supporting excellence in sports, it also strengthens Füchse Berlin's ability to succeed at the highest level.
By collaborating with a handball club that has achieved international recognition, Tornado demonstrates its belief in the power of sport to inspire, motivate, and unite. At the same time, Füchse Berlin receives the support of a partner whose values perfectly align with the competitive spirit and resilience that defines their game.
Looking ahead
The partnership marks the beginning of an exciting chapter for Tornado and Füchse Berlin. The 2025/26 season promises to be a year of challenges and opportunities, as Füchse Berlin aims to further consolidate its position in German and European handball. For Tornado, the collaboration provides a platform to showcase its brand alongside a club celebrated for its determination and excellence.
As the season progresses, fans and stakeholders can look forward to this partnership growing and developing further. While details on specific activations and joint initiatives will follow in due course, one thing is already clear: the connection between Tornado and Füchse Berlin is built on a strong foundation of shared ambition and mutual respect.
The announcement of Tornado as the official partner of Füchse Berlin for the 2025/26 season underscores the power of collaboration between industry and sport. Both organizations stand for strength, precision, and reliability, and together they will carry these values into the coming year.
With Tornado's reputation as a trusted global manufacturer and Füchse Berlin's standing as one of Europe's leading handball clubs, this partnership will have a lasting impact both on and off the pitch.
As Füchse Berlin prepare for another exciting season, they do so with Tornado by their side – a partnership defined by performance, passion, and the pursuit of excellence.
