Twins also announced that Bailey Electric & Electronics BV has become a sub-sponsor.

De Glaskoning is a company that supplies glass to the Dutch market. They make glass-solutions for building companies, renovation and the private market.

Bailey Electric & Electronics supplies lightning and has the biggest light source assortment in the world, which is distributed worldwide from its storage in Oosterhout.

,,We have been searching for a main sponsor for our club for a long time'', Twins Chairman Geert Snellen states. ,,It has been made somewhat easier when we reached the Dutch big league. With that, we could provide something special. Two teams, baseball and softball, will play in the highest league, which is very special for a city as Oosterhout. De Glaskoning already was associated with the club as a sponsor and after some constructive talks, decisions could be made. Bailey is just as important as a subsponsor. They also give the club and its ambitions extra flavor. We're very happy with the confidence both companies have.''

In a reaction at the club's website, Huub de Koning, director of De Glaskoning, stated: ,,Oosterhout can be proud of this club. The promotion of Twins can at the right moment for us. We also are active at the highest level in our branche and have big ambitions.''

Martin Aaldijk, director of Bailey Electric & Electronis, added: ,,Baseball returns frequently in our company. As supplier of light for sports fields, we have activities at several baseball-clubs, but also some of our employees have played baseball themselves. We think it is important that Twins will be a landmark in the south of the Netherlands.''

De Glaskoning Twins opens the baseball-season at home on Thursday-evening, April 14, hosting reigning champion Curaçao Neptunus.
