“This partnership will go down in the history of Bayer 04 Leverkusen, as we won the German championship for the first time in Castore's iconic jerseys,” emphasizes Markus Breglec, Chief Marketing and Innovation Officer of Bayer 04. "That alone makes our relationship with Castore a special one. Together with Castore, we have also broken sales records in a way that nobody would have expected before," underlines Breglec. "Our cooperation was characterized by creativity and professionalism. For this, Castore deserves our sincere thanks and recognition. We wish Castore all the best for the future."
