The new title sponsor Stena has been involved in Match Cup Sweden for a long time. Both Stena Line and Stena Bulk has for many years been boat sponsors in the competition.
“It is fantastic news that Stena chooses to make this investment. A loyal partner choosing to further strengthen their commitment – this is the best rating you can get as an event." says Jan Torstenson, CEO of Brandspot, who organizes Stena Match Cup Sweden in cooperation with GKSS.
“We are enthusiastic to commit whole heartedly to Match Cup Sweden. We have been involved during several years now and have experienced the many different opportunities the event has to offer. Therefore, we also know that this is a great event to bring together the entire Stena Group into a common activity. Our goal is to further strengthen the links between employees, customers and partners and we believe that Stena Match Cup Sweden will work as an excellent foundation" says Dan Sten Olsson, CEO of Stena AB.
Lennart Svantesson, chairman of GKSS:
“Stena's commitment is great for our event in Marstrand and promotes the entire sport of sailing. It is extra pleasing with a large marine corporation as title sponsor of the event and their global operations matched with their strong local roots will highlight Stena Match Cup Sweden even further.”
