The Williams F1 Team and
Kemppi announce upgraded
sponsorship agreement
THE Williams F1 Team has signed an
upgraded partnership with Kemppi, a
leader in the manufacture of arc welding
equipment.
Founded in 1949 by Martti Kemppi,
the family run business has introduced
many new innovations to the market
over the past 60 years, serving
industries such as shipbuilding,
metal workshops and transportation.
Headquartered in Lahti, Finland, Kemppi
has a global presence with subsidiaries
in 15 territories and customers in
more than 70 countries worldwide.
Kemppi first joined the Williams F1
Team’s portfolio of partners in April
2012.
This upgraded agreement will see
the Kemppi logo positioned on the front
wing endplate of the Williams Renault
FW35 and the sleeve of the drivers’
overalls and team apparel.
Kemppi andWilliams will also continue
their technical cooperation which sees
Williams benefit from Kemppi’s expertise
in welding equipment, by integration of
products at the factory and races.
Speaking about the partnership
Anssi Rantasalo, chief executive
officer of Kemppi, said: “We’ve been
supporting Valtteri [Bottas, Williams’s
new driver] for several years now and
it’s great to see him get the chance
to show what he can do on the world
stage this season. It’s also been a
great honour for Kemppi to partner with
one of the most successful teams in
Formula One history and through this
we will be hoping for more success
for the Williams F1 Team this year.
Our relationship also encompasses
a technology partnership and we are
showing that our welding equipment
can meet the stringent demands of
Formula One.”
