Canon Joins Rugby World Cup 2015 Official Sponsors

Canon, a world-leader in imaging solutions, has joined the commercial roster for the Rugby World Cup 2015, which includes Heineken, Land Rover, MasterCard Société Générale, DHL and Emirates as worldwide partners. Rugby World Cup Limited (RWCL) made the announcement recent.

The agreement represents the first time Canon has teamed with rugby union’s premier national team event and it will provide all print and copying solutions to tournament organisers before the competition in England next year.

Canon’s professional services team will also be on site to assist accredited photographers at matches with advice, essential maintenance services, equipment loans and minor repairs, as well as engaging in fan activities.

Canon will also be working in partnership with RWCL to deliver a range of image-related initiatives to enhance fan experience during what promises to be the best connected and most engaged Rugby World Cup to date.

Rugby World Cup Limited chairman Bernard Lapasset said: "This exciting deal with a global leader in imaging represents another exciting boost for Rugby World Cup as we look forward to what promises to be a very special and record-breaking England 2015 tournament."
