"With Alexanderwerk AG we have gained an internationally active partner that not only has a more than 130-year history but has also moved with the times and today has technically demanding solutions in their sector," said Markus Breglec, chief marketing & innovation officer.

Alexanderwerk AG will have a comprehensive presence at the BayArena in the forthcoming season including at Werkself Bundesliga home games on the LED boards around the pitch and the LED boards in the upper tier. In addition, the rights package for the Remscheid company include use of an exclusive executive box on the south side of the stadium.

Fatih Yavuz, managing director of Alexanderwerk AG, said: "We are proud to be an active Bayer 04 Premium Partner and we wish the club a successful season in 2023/24. As a company with roots in the immediate area it's even better that this partnership has become a reality. The long-term relationship with our customers and business partners is a key element of our success. That also needs a strong team. For us, as a 'compaction team', football is a binding element for us to position ourselves as a global player with customers and employees. The partnership with Bayer 04 will contribute to significantly increasing the presence of our company and market recognition."
