"The shared experiences of last season, in particular achieving the double, have created a strong link between the two partners that we want to continue to look after," said the two Alexanderwerk managing directors Bekim Bunjaku and Manfred Felder.
As part of the new sponsorship contract, Alexanderwerk will have a comprehensive presence in the area of ‘Stadium vision’ that includes presentation on the screens in the VIP areas at the BayArena during Werkself Bundesliga matches. Other elements of the contract are an executive box in the south stand at the BayArena plus networking tours for European games for the double winners. The contract will run to 30 June 2025.

About Alexanderwerk AG:
Alexanderwerk AG is a world leading consortium in the field of dry compaction and granulation. As an international company based in Remscheid, Alexanderwerk has offered for over the 130 years high quality and technically demanding machines and solutions for the chemical, pharmaceutical and food industries as well as in life science.
The first move away from exclusive production of machines for the food industry to the chemical and pharmaceutical industry came in 1953/54 when Alexanderwerk developed wet granulation machines for industrial use and delivered the first machines to the Bayerwerk in Leverkusen. Shortly after that, more efficient machines were developed and also delivered to the Bayerwerk for the production of acetylsalicylic acid (Aspirin®).
From major corporations through to special suppliers or compaction: The solutions from Alexanderwerk are equally applicable to the production of tablets, capsules, life science products, flavourings, instant powders, sweeteners and much more.
From the 2027/28 season, the Women’s Bundesliga will be organised by an independent league association. Following the unanimous decision taken at the DFB Bundestag (national conference) on Friday afternoon, the league’s separation from the DFB is now official.
