Harvest Group SA is an official sponsor and partner of the International Judo Federation

We are delighted to announce our extensive partnership with the International Judo Federation (IJF). Throughout the busy 2023 and 2024 sporting seasons, our team has enthusiastically joined the sporting initiatives of the global judo community, sharing the sport's core values. Today, we are pleased to affirm that we have become part of this community. 

Our company was founded on the principles of trust, integrity, high customer satisfaction and excellence. These values closely resonate with the IJF's mission to promote judo at the highest level.

Almaz Alsenov, founder and CEO of Harvest Group SA, shares his thoughts on the partnership, ‘Our success is based on people. We value the quality of our products, customer relationships and constantly strive for excellence. These same principles are at the heart of Judo: attention to detail, respect and a desire to evolve. We built the company from the ground up, and today we serve customers around the world, transporting millions of tonnes of product. Like Judo, we are committed to a high standard of quality, innovating and putting people at the centre of everything we do. We are proud to apply these values in our new partnership with the IJF.’

Almaz also noted the personal significance of this co-operation:

‘Judo has always been an important part of my life. I started playing the sport at the age of 11 in Karaganda, and this path has taken me from competing on the international stage to management roles at the continental level. This partnership has been a unique opportunity for me to combine my love of judo with my professional achievements and I am sure it will benefit both parties.’

Harvest Group greatly appreciates working with the global judo community and looks forward to a multi-year partnership with the IJF. We sincerely thank the federation for the opportunity to support this amazing sport and share our knowledge, experience and values. Together we can reach new heights!
