More information can be found in the joint press release from 3C-Carbon and HC Landsberg:

The 3C-Carbon Group Ltd is making another significant commitment to the town of Landsberg. The dynamically growing high-tech company from the south of the city will for several years starting with the 2017/18 season be the exclusive main sponsor of the ice hockey club HC Landsberg. The respective contract was signed by 3C chair Karsten Jerschke and HCL board members Markus Haschka and Frank Kurz before the play-off home game against ECDC Memmingen. With this outstanding commitment, 3C is doing more than just supporting the successful Bayernliga team of the Riverkings. It’s also expressly acknowledging the club’s outstanding youth development work.

Karsten Jerschke (Chair of the 3C-Carbon Group AG)

“We have been watching HC Landsberg for a long time and we are impressed with the work that is being done here. Within a few years, and via solidarity, excellence and enormous commitment, it has been possible to create new faith in ice hockey in Landsberg and to establish the Riverkings as a team with a likeable image in the top flight of an attractive sporting league. These are the skills and values which we, as a successful company, are happy to support.

As a market leader in a high-tech industry, we too know the importance of having a highly qualified and well-motivated junior team. Thanks to the excellent work of HCL in this area, Landsberg is establishing itself as a top hockey location – just as the 3C-Carbon Group is doing in the technology sector. And it’s not least for this reason that we are happy to be showing our commitment.”

“That it is the Landsberg company 3C-Carbon Group AG getting on board as main sponsor of the Riverkings is especially pleasing for us as the current board of HC Landsberg.
Operating with regional roots – the path pursued in sports – is something which we can continue to pursue together with the new main sponsor.
In particular, the fact that a long-term partnership was being sought here is something unbelievably important for us as a club, so we can continue to plan in a solid and local way and to push ahead with further positive sporting developments.
HC Landsberg is looking forwards to a long-term and sustainable partnership with the renowned 3C-Carbon AG company, so that we can continue to build on recent years of successful work together.

The starting shot has already been fired and construction is in full swing on Marie-Curie-Strasse, in the immediate vicinity of the popular outlet centre “Ingolstadt Village” in the east of the city. Even the defusing of an aircraft bomb from WWII near the company premises did not cause any changes to the timetable. In addition, the search for employees is progressing at full speed, as the plan is to open in the spring of 2017.

A spectacular array awaits customers, interested persons and visitors, covering not only the complete model range of the cult American brand. Anyone who goes to Harley Davidson in Ingolstadt can experience the entire bandwidth of this special world. Across more than 2,500 square metres, in addition to the large showroom, the next few months will see the creation of a boutique for numerous matching textiles and accessories, a Harley cafe, an extensive department for accessories, merchandising articles, care products and much more.

“It’s no coincidence that Harley Davidson has experienced a major boom in the last few years,” according to Managing Director Karsten Jerschke. “Like almost no other brand, the company is not only defined by its products but also stands for a compete attitude to life with them.” 3C-American Motorcycles GmbH now makes it possible to experience this in Ingolstadt, covering a blank spot that has been on the “Harley map” so far. The 3C Group is thereby adding another attractive branch to its business activities.

3C-Carbon Group AG has been a sponsor right from the start. Since the founding of the social institution in 2006, the company has supported the multi-generation house in Landsberg with financial donations. This year, there was once again a cheque for 15,000 euros that Karsten Jerschke symbolically signed and presented. This is money that is given gladly and invested sensibly, as he emphasises. “They are doing a brilliant job in the multi-generation house. Our contribution is going to the right place,” said Jerschke when presenting the cheque.

About the multi-generation house

The multi-generation house in Landsberg, which is supported by the Arbeiter-Wohlfahrt (AWO) social welfare organisation, provides more than 30 projects for citizens of all ages under one roof. The house’s broad scope includes the following: senior citizens assist with the reading of primary school children as reading mentors, and there are also homework supervision, language mentors, a babysitting placement service, a multi-generation choir, support for senior citizens from IKG secondary school students and much more. In addition to full-time management by Margit Däubler and Anke Wilk, it is mainly the commitment of around 150 voluntary workers as well as donations and subsidies that are the basis for the generation-connecting social work. “We want to give people meaningful tasks that promote the integration of all fringe groups and increase understanding and solidarity generally,” said Ms Däubler.

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."
