KNAACK® To Sponsor The SBD World’s Strongest Man Competition for Second Consecutive Year
Apr 4, 2022
Known for its Enduring Resilience and Performance, KNAACK Jobsite Storage Products, Partner with the SBD World’s Strongest Man Competition
Itasca, IL [April 4, 2022] - KNAACK®, the trusted leader in tool storage and jobsite security, announced today that it would again be an official sponsor of the SBD World’s Strongest Man (WSM) competition, scheduled for May 24-29, 2022 in Sacramento, California. This year, participants will compete in a unique KNAACK medley event, featuring two of the most popular KNAACK jobsite boxes, which are as tough as the WSM competition itself.
“We are pleased to be partnering with the World’s Strongest Man competition as a 2022 sponsor,” said Stacy Gardella, Head of Global Marketing Technology & Operations, WernerCo. “Just like KNAACK, the WSM competitors embody the attributes of strength, durability, and performance. We also see this determination and grit in the trade professionals we work with on jobsites every day. This continued partnership with WSM underscores our commitment to perseverance amongst the athletes in the competition and on jobsites everywhere.”
This year marks the 45th anniversary of the WSM competition. During the multi-day event, contestants test their physical and mental strength, stamina, skill, and strategy through a series of extreme challenges, including lifting, pulling, carrying, and throwing heavy weights. Last year, the competition’s 10 finalists went head-to-head in the 772 pound (350 kg) KNAACK Deadlift for total reps and a time limit of one minute. For the 2022 competition, the KNAACK medley event will include a Yoke Walk with a Data Vault Model 118-01, a professional job box for those needing data connectivity on the worksite, and a Box Carry with a Model 32 Chest, the ultimate tool chest for securing valuable equipment.
KNAACK Tools of the Strongman Digital Campaign
In addition to the event sponsorship, KNAACK will continue to highlight exceptional athletes through its “Tools of a Strongman” digital campaign. KNAACK and WSM will highlight the series – featuring brand ambassadors Jerry Pritchett, JF Caron, and Kevin Faires – across their social media channels. KNAACK will again be using the #CantCrackKNAACK hashtag across its social networks to showcase workplace competitions on select jobsites.
