Through this partnership we are backing innovative and environmentally friendly technology in maintaining our playing surfaces with modern grass mowers. We are looking forward to working together."
"As a modern company we are always looking for exciting partners and partnerships that benefit both sides – also in sponsorship," said Marc Gerster, CEO of STIGA Germany and Switzerland. "With their innovative style of play, Bayer 04 Leverkusen under coach Xabi Alonso have made their mark on football in Germany and shown how successful you can be with courage, enthusiasm and passion. These are values we live and breathe at STIGA every day. So we are looking forward to getting up to speed on the pitch together from now."
