TATA is the largest wooden door brand in China and we want to take this top Chinese brand internationally showing china’s excellence in wooden doors just like the Chinese table tennis team. This is just the first step for us and we hope that there will be a long partnership with the ITTF and table tennis.”

With a global reach of around 400 million our World Championships is a powerful tool for brands to promote themselves inside and outside China so I am sure that the TATA Tongchuang’s partnership with the event will fulfil and even succeed their company’s goals from our partnership. We are already in discussion with TATA Tongchuang for a longer term partnership to open many more doors for them in a larger scale through table tennis. Thank you for our friends at the Chinese Table Tennis Association who attended the signing ceremony to show their support to this exciting new partnership and to TMG who through Hanyuan International assisted to bring this new partner.”
