OPRO has signed a long-term partnership to become the official mouthguard of the German MMA Federation.
In addition, OPRO will undertake a wide-reaching campaign to promote the safety and protection of all fighters during training and competition. The Hemel Hempstead-based company will also play a leading role in supporting the German MMA Federation’s aim to grow participation in the sport nationally.
The German MMA Federation joins OPRO’s ever-increasing ‘official mouthguard status’ federations, which include the Italian MMA Federation, England Rugby, New Zealand Rugby, Australia Rugby, England Boxing, the GAA and England Hockey.
Dr Anthony Lovat BDS, founder and owner of the OPROGROUP, said: “This is an exciting time for OPRO as we celebrate our 20th anniversary. We recognise the tremendous growth and popularity of MMA throughout the world and are delighted to be a part of it.
“As a dental surgeon, my team and I are passionate in our commitment to provide the best fitting, most comfortable mouthguards available. We feel honoured that the German MMA Federation has appointed our product as their official mouthguard. With over 20 years’ experience in the development of mouthguard technology, this level of professional recognition in the excellence of our mouthguards represents a great achievement for us all.”
Raphael Vogt, president of the German MMA Federation added: “Choosing OPRO to be our official mouthguard supplier was an obvious choice for us.
“Our members are amongst the toughest, most disciplined fighters in MMA. Every time an athlete enters the arena he wants to be free from all distractions to enable him to concentrate fully on his challenge ahead and OPRO mouthguards give him ease of breathability, comfort and protection knowing he is wearing the best mouthguard in the world.”
