Yokohama becomes partner of Juventus FC
Yokohama Rubber has signed a sponsorship agreement with Juventus, becoming the official partner of the Italian football club for the next several years, the tire manufacturer's press service reported, adding that "this is not just a traditional sponsorship, but a strategically important element of the company's development strategy, reflecting its ambition to increase brand awareness and strengthen its position in the European market by participating in the world's most popular and influential sport."
Yokohama noted that in recent years the company has tripled its revenue in Europe, and now the next stage of development for its regional division has begun, which will implement an ambitious plan to further increase market share and enhance the brand's premium positioning, while the partnership with Juventus, one of the most famous football clubs in the world, "will provide a powerful platform for achieving these goals."
"In recent times, we have achieved significant sales growth thanks to continuous investments in products, personnel, customer service quality, and brand positioning," said Gregorio Borgo, President of Yokohama Europe. "Partnering with a club of Juventus' caliber gives us the opportunity to enter the world of elite football alongside one of its most respected representatives."
As part of the collaboration, Yokohama will place advertising at the stadium during Juventus' home matches and launch various digital initiatives engaging fans. Additionally, the company will gain access to the club's media ecosystem, which is expected to boost the tire brand's visibility, considering Juventus has a massive global fan base.
"We closely collaborate with premium automotive brands such as Jeep, and the agreement with Yokohama expands this prestigious network of partners," said Peter Silverstone, Juventus' Commercial Director. "Yokohama is a respected premium brand that shares our commitment to self-improvement, innovation, and high standards."
