"The new tour bus is another key part of our successful partnership with wupsi GmbH. It not only gives us flexibility in travel arrangements for our teams but also represents Bayer 04 on the streets of Leverkusen, North Rhine Westphalia and the whole of Germany," said Markus Breglec. Wupsi CEO Marc Kretkowski added: "Bayer 04 is a flagship for the city of Leverkusen. We are happy to have been able to complete another special project with our long-term partner and introduce a tour coach in Bayer 04 livery to our wupsi fleet."
The partnership has been extended to the end of the season in tandem with the presentation. As a partner in the Business Club at Bayer 04, wupsi GmbH is shown on an LED screen in the stands on matchdays at the BayArena.
