Team of UNTHA Türkiye employee at the Euro Master Regatta 2024
UNTHA shredding technology has around 500 dedicated employees worldwide. In order to motivate this international team to achieve personal and professional excellence, the company ensures a good work-life balance and also supports them in sporting activities and social commitment. One example of this is the sponsorship of the rowing team of UNTHA Türkiye employee Arzu Cengon and her team colleague Özge Begüm Yılmaz. The "Moda Kürek Club" team competed in the Euro Master Regatta 2024 in Munich.
The Euro Master Regatta – Europe's leading rowing regatta – took place from 25 to 28 July 2024 at the Olympic Regatta Centre in Munich-Oberschleissheim. Hundreds of participants took part in a series of races and impressed with their top performances. Among them was the team of Arzu Cengon, Office Manager at UNTHA Türkiye in Istanbul. The 15-strong "Moda Kürek Club" team is supported by UNTHA shredding technology. In addition to sporting motivation, the team is also driven by a social mission:
"We want to be strong, female role models to inspire and motivate young people. Our aim is to show them what opportunities they have in life and give them the courage and support they need to go their own way. With the support of UNTHA, we can take part in competitions like this and get our message out into the world. It's a great feeling for all of us," says Arzu Cengon, Office Manager at UNTHA Türkiye.
Role model function – personal & sporting
In addition to their own sporting activities and the joy of rowing itself, the team is pursuing a social goal above all: the rowers want to inspire girls and young women to take up the sport and support them in getting started: for example, with financial resources, but also through coaching, joint training sessions and participation in competitions. This encourages them not only in their sporting abilities, but also in their personal development.
Ulaş Gürpınar, founder and coach of the Moda Kürek Club, says: "Over the years, our club has taken part in some of the most prestigious competitions in Turkey. After consistently achieving excellent results, it makes sense to go one step further and participate in international events. However, these events come at a price, and we want to invest our financial resources primarily in supporting girls and young women. That is why we are very grateful for the support of UNTHA."
Taner Topçu, General Manager at UNTHA Türkiye: "I am inspired by the passion and commitment of Arzu and her rowing team. They are great role models, and I am delighted that we as a company support such initiatives and their valuable work."
