FIL seals Viessmann extension

The International Luge Federation (FIL) has signed a four-year extension to its partnership with main sponsor Viessmann.

The heating products manufacturer has backed the FIL for 17 years and will now extend this commitment until 2018.

Under the terms of the deal, brokered by Germany's RGS Sportmarketing agency, Viessmann will remain title sponsor of the FIL’s World Cup series until the end of the 2017-18 season.

Along with its FIL extension, Viessmann also continues its partnership with the German Bobsleigh and Sled Sports Federation (BSD) for another four years.
