Bologna FC 1909 and Pelliconi have renewed and strengthened their historic partnership, which has been successfully running for the last ten years. For this season, the company from Bologna, a world leader in the production of lids in the food and beverage industry, will be the Club’s Training and Top Partner.
As a Training Partner, the Pelliconi brand will appear on the pre-match training kit worn by the first team, as a symbol of the company’s links to both the Rossoblù as well as the city in which it was born.
Founded in Bologna in 1939, Pelliconi is a global leader in the production of metal, aluminium, and plastic lids with nine production centres across four continents, two in Italy (Ozzano dell’Emilia and Atessa), two in Africa, three in North America, and two in China, as well as five commercial offices. With an annual production of over 32 billion lids and nearly 700 employees worldwide, the company reflects the excellence of what it means to be Made in Italy and serves as an international representative of true quality in Bologna.
“The renewal of our partnership with Pelliconi is an important symbol of our shared journey together over ten years. Strengthening these collaborations reaffirms just how deep and vital the bonds are between Bologna and the top regional brands,” said Claudio Fenucci, CEO of Bologna FC 1909. “Pelliconi is a company from Bologna that, despite becoming a world leader, maintains its deep roots in our city. For us, it is a source of pride to be a communication platform for companies that best represent the identity, innovation, and entrepreneurial spirit of the local community that we come from.”
“We are truly delighted to host the presentation of Jonathan Rowe and Ibrahim Sulemana at our headquarters in Ozzano dell’Emilia,” CEO of the Pelliconi Group, Marco Checchi, commented. “For Pelliconi, who have always maintained a deep connection to this area, it is a great honour to stand with a team that represents the pride and passion of our community. We believe that sport, and football especially, is a universal language of positive values and belonging. Bologna FC 1909 is a symbol that unites generations of fans; welcoming two new stars into this club’s legacy makes us proud. To Jonathan and Ibrahim, we extend our sincerest best wishes for a journey at Bologna full of success and happiness.”
The renewal of our partnership with Pelliconi, who this year also take on the role of training partner, makes us proud as it highlights the trust that a world-leading company places in our club. The presence of the brand on our pre-match training kit gives significant visibility at a time when the team is preparing and focusing ahead of a game, further demonstrating the value of this partnership. Together with Pelliconi, we strive to continue developing innovative projects and strengthening the connection between Bologna and the leading businesses that represent the city globally,” said Christoph Winterling, Chief Revenue Officer at Bologna FC 1909.
Bologna FC 1909 and Pelliconi are enthusiastic about a new season of collaboration, combining sport, local roots, and innovation in a shared goal that proudly represents Bologna on the global stage.
