WILLIAMS F1 TEAM ANNOUNCES NEW PARTNERSHIP WITH WIHURI
8 May 2012. Grove, UK. The Williams F1 Team (Ticker: WGF1) is pleased to
announce a new sponsorship agreement with Wihuri, one of Finland's most
respected business enterprises.
The Wihuri logos will feature on the belt and helmet of the team's Official
Reserve Driver Valtteri Bottas, and the rear wing endplate of each Williams
Renault FW34. Wihuri have supported Valtteri since 2006, and this agreement
further extends their commitment to helping talented young Finnish drivers
reach the pinnacle of motorsport.
Headquartered in Finland, Wihuri is a global industry and trade
conglomerate engaged in film packaging products, daily goods wholesale
operations, technical trade investment products and aviation. Over the past
century Wihuri has grown from a small family business into a diversified
global enterprise which operates in 20 countries. It is still owned by the
family that formed the company 110 years ago.
Juha Hellgrén, President and Chief Executive Officer of Wihuri, commented,
'Wihuri's heritage in motorsport sponsorship started in the 1970s and this
new agreement with one of the sport's most iconic and legendary teams is
very exciting. I am confident that co-operation with the Williams F1 Team
will be a success story for both sides.'
Sir Frank Williams, Team Principal of the Williams F1 Team, added, 'We are
delighted to welcome Wihuri to our portfolio of partners. They have
provided considerable support to Valtteri in his career thus far and to
partner with a company that shares a family structure and strong heritage
is greatly satisfying. We are all looking forward to working with them in
the future.'
