MOLTEN SECURES SPONSORSHIP OF BRITISH BASKETBALL LEAGUE

Molten, the world’s leading manufacturer of inflatable sports balls, is to sponsor the British Basketball League (BBL) in a three-year deal.

Under the deal, Molten’s new and distinctive, 12-panel G-Series basketball will become the exclusive and official BBL league and club ball.

Valued at £150,000, the sponsorship package, which commences this month (September 2006), includes a supply of the Molten G-Series basketball and other Molten products as well as cash, which is to be directly invested by BBL in a scheme to develop basketball in the clubs’ communities.
