LAFAYETTE, CO – USA Rugby today announced a two-year partnership with Prime Brands International Inc, who distribute WINTERGREEN™ products in the USA. Manufactured in Cape Town, WINTERGREEN™ originates from South Africa where it is well-known and trusted by professional athletes for pre-game muscle warm up, including the Stormers Super Rugby team comprising 11 Springbok rugby players.
Founder and Managing Director of Prime Africa Holdings, Justin Clohessy says “After retiring from rugby, I used my experience to create a formulation with wintergreen plant oil, for a fast, effective pre-game warm up solution. This was the start of the WINTERGREEN™ range which now boasts a comprehensive choice of products to aid athletes during all stages of training. Injuries cost teams championships, so preparation, support and recovery are key.
“We are super excited to welcome WINTERGREEN™ as the latest partner for USA Rugby, in particular due to their commitment of supporting our purpose – to lead and empower America to embrace the rugby experience” said USA Rugby Commercial Director, Mark Griffin. “As part of their support Wintergreen acts as the coach behind the coach, providing top quality, natural products to take care of our athletes off the field, so that they can continue to excel on the field.
