Lionel Arlin, Gerflor Sport Federations and Events Manager said: "Gerflor is excited to be part of this exciting, new WTT era and we are looking forward to the start of the Middle East Hub. Together with our virologist laboratory partner in France, we have also tested the anti-viral activity of our Gerflor flooring and we are delighted that it has complied and met all safety standards required."
WTT’s Senior Partnerships Director, Kimberly Koh, expressed her gratitude to Gerflor for their support which she believes is a strong endorsement of the global appeal of WTT.
"This is truly a momentous time for WTT. We are ready to capture the imagination of the global audience with our brand-new identity starting from the WTT Middle East Hub. We are glad that Gerflor has come on board, bringing their global flooring experience and anti-viral innovation in this exciting journey together," said Koh.
