Norba, Philippe Colin's early sponsor

Norba (Atrya group) supports kayaker Philippe Colin

Strasbourg kayaker Philippe Colin has just won his second world title in the rowing race. A successful gamble for Norba, which has supported him for many years.

Since 2007, Norba (Atrya Group) has supported French kayaker Philippe Colin. A specialist in the supply and installation of exterior and interior joinery for large housing projects, Norba chose to sponsor this athlete because he embodies values dear to the company: hard work, rigor, respect for commitments, a taste for effort, and self-confidence. In any sporting or commercial competition, only first place is synonymous with satisfaction.

Like the Norba teams, Philippe Colin and his teammates put into practice the concept of "anticipation, work, and rigor," three principles that allow them to achieve their goals. As such, the Strasbourg native has already spoken at several Norba seminars to share his experience and compare it to that of construction industry players.
For Norba, this partnership is also an opportunity to support an athlete whose discipline is not as publicized as others, so that he can have all the means necessary to achieve his goals.

PHILIPPE COLIN WON MULTIPLE TITLES
After a sixth place in the K2 final at the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games, the kayaker, registered with the Strasbourg Eaux Vives club, had no need to relaunch his career by winning the Poznan World Championships this summer in the K4 1000-meter category with his partners Arnaud Hybois, Sébastien Jouve, and Etienne Hubert. In 2009, the French K4 team had already won the silver medal at the World Championships in Canada.
Philippe Colin, 30, a member of the French team, is not new to this, having already reached the top step of a world podium on August 11, 2007 in Duisburg in the K2 category.
