IMA Protect, the main partner of HBC Nantes through 2027
As the main partner of HBC Nantes since November 2025, IMA Protect is committed to supporting the Nantes club through June 2027.
Through this partnership, IMA Protect is joining forces with one of the leading clubs in French handball, renowned for its athletic achievements, strong identity, and team spirit. This collaboration is part of a broader effort to boost the company’s visibility in the region while creating memorable moments within the HBC Nantes community.
Shared values at the heart of the partnership
For several years now, HBC Nantes has established itself as one of the iconic clubs in French handball. Beyond its athletic achievements, the club embodies strong values that fully align with those of IMA Protect:
- Respect, for teammates, opponents, and the public,
- Fighting spirit, the ability to never give up, both on the court and in daily life,
- Solidarity, driven by a true team spirit among players, staff, volunteers, and fans.
We are thrilled to join the HBC Nantes family. #WeHFamily is much more than a slogan: we fully recognize this spirit in the atmosphere at the H, in its values, and in the people who bring the club to life. Working well together is also what drives us at IMA Protect. Respect, determination, and solidarity: these values resonate deeply with those of IMA Protect.
This partnership is an opportunity to share a wonderful human adventure and to strengthen our brand recognition by associating ourselves with an iconic club, renowned for its excellence and authenticity.
Proud to move forward together, proud to protect what matters.
