The 23-year-old’s return marks the homecoming of one of the biggest talents that the district of Landsberg has produced in recent years. Jais – born in Landsberg in 1993 – passed through all of the TSV 1860 Munich youth teams and played in the Lions Regionalliga (Regional League) team for three years. He was also nominated for the Munich senior squad twice.

In 2014, Jais moved to Wacker Burghausen and most recently he played in attack for TSV Steinbach in the Regionalliga Südwest (Regional League Southwest). Despite his young age, this takes the striker to a total of 125 Regionalliga games (23 goals) already, as well as two U19 internationals.

Those responsible for the football department have been in regular contact with Daniel Jais and his father Roland for a long time. This allowed them to register an early interest when it became clear that the striker would terminate his contract with the team from Steinbach, Hesse, for sporting and personal reasons, and wanted to head home.

Jais, who rejected several offers from other clubs, is being hired as a contract amateur at TSV Landsberg. "We are delighted to bring such a high-profile player to Landsberg, Daniel will certainly provide the required boost to our attack. Without the extensive extra support from our main sponsor 3C, this commitment would not have been possible," says Hanns Haedenkamp, Principle Chairman of TSV Landsberg. 3C Managing Director, Karsten Jerschke, sees the cooperation in the transfer of Daniel Jais as a further step in the direction of a promising partnership between team and sponsor. "We had announced our intention to breathe life into our contract. Now we can put this pledge into action without delay."

Karina Scharr also achieved a special award. Firstly, she was honoured as the best in the guild for the whole Landsberg Cabinetmakers’ Guild. Secondly, she received the Bavarian State Prize from the Head of the vocational college, Dietmar Bauer, which is reserved for journeymen who complete their apprenticeship with an average of 1.5 or better.

Jonas Seeholzer, another young 3C employee, also performed superbly. He received the best grade of all works submitted for his journeyman's piece, a sideboard made in the company colours, red and black.

3C Managing Director, Karsten Jerschke, was delighted with the achievements of his employees, which are well above average once again. "They can be very proud, as can we as the training company. I am sure that the four employees will also continue to do a very good job for us and can look forward to a highly successful career."

Joint statement from the Managing Director of 3C-Carbon Group AG and the Chairman of TSV 1882 Landsberg

Karsten Jerschke,
Managing Director of 3C-Carbon Group AG

"As an extremely dynamic, growing high-tech company we are now delighted to be involved locally in supporting the biggest club in Landsberg. For this important step towards the public, which also represents the continued commitment of the 3C Group to Landsberg, we consciously chose to go into partnership with the TSV as, like our company, it is by far the number one in its field.

We are looking forward to combining and enhancing the sporting enthusiasm TSV has shown for many years with the dynamism and determination of the 3C Group.

As the market leader for a future-oriented technology, we can only aspire to success. However, we are aware that, even with a great deal of commitment, this cannot be achieved quickly in sport. So we have made an agreement with TSV Landsberg that is not only to last for as many years as possible, but is also to continue to grow with the mutual efforts of both partners.

In doing so, it will certainly be less about the wording of the contract. We are much more interested in making this collaboration clearly enjoyable and dynamic. We would also like to employ specific supportive measures for the club’s grounds to gradually demonstrate to TSV members and all Landsberg citizens that the involvement of 3C as the exclusive main sponsor is of practical benefit and will have a long-term positive impact on the club."

Hanns Haedenkamp,
Principal Chairman of TSV 1882 Landsberg

"As Chairman of TSV 1882 Landsberg, I am particularly pleased that we now have a successful Landsberg company as the new main sponsor of our club.

During the discussions it was particularly important to us that the involvement of 3C would not only benefit the football department but also the entire club, both directly and indirectly. Our sponsor will be encouraging youth work in all departments and has already stated that it will be supporting us in the expansion and improvement of the 3C sports park.

We have already specifically discussed some projects which will primarily address the infrastructure and facilities in the club grounds. We hope to take the first steps together shortly and make this public soon.

Overall we detect a great deal of mutual trust in everyone, including the current training staff of our Bayernliga football team. This trust is also demonstrated by the length of the sponsorship contract, which is initially scheduled to last 10 years. As a sporting goal we are aiming for our first team to advance into the Regionalliga (regional league) in the near future, but first we would like to become established in the top third of the Bayernliga, if possible.

Close and trusting communications have been established between those responsible for our club and our new main sponsor. Not only do we want to make the next few years successful, but to continue to establish TSV 1882 Landsberg as one of the biggest sports clubs in the district of Landsberg."

Stadtwerke Landsberg thus won their first large industrial customer, which is purchasing in the range of several million kilowatt hours (kWh) of electricity per annum. Furthermore, with the help of the public utility company, 3C Group is planning to implement a state-of-the-art power control and demand management system in order to be able to guarantee a cost- and consumer-optimised electricity supply at all times.

Stadtwerke Landsberg can already provide the whole quantity of electricity from renewable energies (particularly hydropower). However, for the purpose of sustainable future planning along with simultaneous dynamic growth, several expansion stages of 3C company networks are planned for the next few years involving area-based, renewable sources of electricity, such as photovoltaic systems, etc.

Jointly signing the forward-looking electricity supply agreement (from left): Siegfried Liebchen (Key Account Manager Stadtwerke), Norbert Köhler (Technical Director Stadtwerke), Karsten Jerschke (CEO 3C Group) and Mayor Mathias Neuner.

Together with Mayor Mathias Neuner and municipal architect Birgit Weber, CEO Karsten Jerschke presented the new street sign, which has more than a symbolic meaning for him. “The address not only reflects 3C-Carbon’s leading position as a manufacturer of composite fibre materials, but will also bring an end to confusion.” Previously, instead of coming to “Lechrainstraße”, suppliers and customers continually ended up at similar sounding streets in Landsberg.

The renaming also demonstrates how 3C-Carbon AG is continuing on its course of expansion. In future, it is not only the production and research facilities that are to be significantly expanded once again on the site of the former Lechrainkaserne barracks; sports facilities, company accommodation and a new prestigious research and development centre are also being planned – all of which will bear the “3C-Ring” address. “We aim to show that we are acknowledging the dynamic growth of this outstanding firm.”
