I am very proud of its vigorous development in China, and its continued commitment to the state of Maryland.”
“We could not be more proud that Under Armour, with deep roots in Maryland and now one of the fastest-growing and most innovative companies in the world, is continuing its rapid expansion into China,” said University of Maryland President Wallace Loh. “The University of Maryland and Under Armour share a deep commitment to innovation and entrepreneurship, and have a long history of close collaboration with China.”
“Under Armour is extremely proud of its Maryland roots,” said Erick Haskell, managing director for Under Armour Greater China. “We are honored to have Governor Hogan’s strong support, as China is a key market for our strategic growth.”
As part of the ceremony and to signify Maryland’s commitment to business and Under Armour’s expansion in China, Governor Hogan imprinted his hand on the store floor and signed his name. According to a news release, a commemorative plaque marking the occasion will accompany his permanent handprint.
