Fluminense FC.
VICTORIA, British Columbia–(BUSINESS WIRE)–The World’s Leading Independent Sportswear Brand DRYWORLD INDUSTRIES is
pleased to announce a record 5-year manufacturing partnership deal with
Brazilian giants Fluminense FC.
The contract is the most valuable to be signed in the last 5 years in
Brazil, highlighting a remarkable rise to the top of the sports market
place for the young brand hailing from the west coast of Canada.
A club both traditional and pioneering, Fluminense is the first club in
Brazil to announce a new partnership with DRYWORLD for the supply of
sports equipment starting in February 2016.
In addition to a significant investment from DRYWORLD, Fluminense also
profits by valuing advancement in sport science and the enterprising
nature of innovative products designed specifically for their athletes,
which DRYWORLD brings to the club and market.
“Fluminense has always been characterized as a pioneering club. This is
how we work. Thinking about the best for the club, innovating without

innovative and winners together,” said club president Peter Siemsen.
And with a special dedication to Fluminense, DRYWORLD is preparing to
launch even more technology in the global sports market starting in the
heart of Rio de Janeiro. The company’s new DRYSKYN technology was
developed specifically for the climate of Brazil, supporting the athlete
by stabilizing their heat signature, managing moisture and allowing the
athlete to move freely.
“The launch of DRYWORLD in Brazil is the first and most important step
toward leveraging our brand in the global market, while we bring a new
quality and innovation for the Brazilian market,” said Matt Weingart,
Co-Founder of DRYWORLD.
Early indications on social media suggest that the new partnership comes
with the blessings and well wishes from the hearts of the most
passionate fans in the world.
