Founded in 2009, the previous Iron Sponsor – company HERRLES Technischer Rückbau & Industriemontagen (e.K.) – will be a premium sponsor of the 1. FC Union Berlin from the beginning of the 2020/2021 season and will still be present on the TV-stand with its small, writing robot.

The company HERRLES, in the hands of the family of the son-in-law of Herbert Domschke (2012 †) a Union original, who was from 1987 to 1999 Union team manager and until 2005 caretaker for visiting teams and referees. Herbert Domschke was an original and is certainly still known to many old Unioners. Unfortunately, he passed away way too early in 2012.The company, founded by the Founder Ralf Herrles in the crisis year 2009, in the context of a necessary professional reorientation and without significant equity capital, has established itself over the past 11 years in the field of industrial services, industrial assembly as well as used robots and used machinery trade in the European market.Especially in the last 5 years, the company HERRLES Technischer Rückbau & Industriemontagen (e. K.) took a rapid development and has just been awarded as one of the most dynamic and fastest growing 100 companies in Germany.
The company HERRLES has specialized as a direct supplier, for all the major German car manufacturers, in demanding and very complex dismantling projects in sensitive areas. Since the beginning of 2018, the company HERRLES has succeeded climbing to the number 1 position in the ranking of European used robot-traders with a volume of 1,000 to today’s around 2,000 used robots, from its own dismantling projects. They have successfully defended this position since then and, as things stand today, will achieve it again in 2020.

The owner of the company HERRLES says about the new extended sponsorship:
“It is important to us to send a signal of unity and support to the club and its amazing fans, which my father-in-law and Union team manager Herbert Domschke and our family were so close, especially in these difficult times.Of course we are also very proud to belong to the circle of the Unioners, because we, just like Union Berlin in the past years, through hard work and “iron” stamina, maybe also through the necessary bit of luck, despite many setbacks, have managed the announced goal and with it the important step up, into the 1st league. Just as 1. FC Union Berlin succeeded in sports, we can be happy about reaching this position or this level in the German economy and in our industry.Now both partners are working hard and with a lot of commitment and dedication to defend and expand what we have achieved in our areas. So let’s show together again in this 2020/2021 season exactly what we are known for everywhere. Let’s work hard and fight, both for the class preservation, a good ranking at the end of the season and maybe the one or other spectacular game or project.After all, both of us are known, by fans and customers alike, for a passionate and an excellent team performance.Last but not least, we are of course also pleased about the opportunity to be present nationwide and beyond by means of the Union stand advertisement and to be able to attract the attention of further customers to our used robots as well as our services.
To a good further cooperation.“
