---------------------------------------------------------------------?THE WILLIAMS F1 TEAM AND WIHURI INCREASE PARTNERSHIP COMMITMENT FOR THE
2013 SEASON
20 February 2013. Grove, UK. The Williams F1 Team (Ticker: WGF1) is
pleased to announce that it has signed a renewed partnership agreement with
Wihuri, one of Finland's most respected business enterprises. The new
partnership agreement will see the Finnish company increase its level of
commitment to the team for the 2013 season.
Headquartered in Finland, Wihuri is a global industry and trade
conglomerate engaged in 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. Wihuri first
partnered with the Williams F1 Team in May 2012, but their heritage in
motorsport sponsorship began in the 1970s. Their involvement with the team
and drivers has enabled Williams to forge close links with a company and
country passionate about motorsport.
The Wihuri logo will feature on the rear wing end plate of the Williams
Renault FW35 in all races outside of Europe and North America. In Europe
and North America, the logo featured on the rear wing end plate will be
Wipak and Winpak respectively, each being divisions of the Wihuri Group.
The Wihuri logo will also feature on the drivers' helmets and overalls, as
well as team clothing.
Juha Hellgrén, President and Chief Executive Officer of Wihuri, commented;
'We have thoroughly enjoyed our relationship with the Williams F1 Team so
far and partnering with such an iconic team on a global stage has afforded
us excellent brand exposure. Increasing our commitment for 2013 was a
logical step and I look forward to seeing our partnership with the Williams
F1 Team go from strength to strength'.
Sir Frank Williams, Team Principal of the Williams F1 Team, added; 'It's
great that Wihuri have decided to increase their involvement with the team
and this new agreement demonstrates the success of our partnership to date.
2013 will prove very exciting for both Williams and Wihuri and we'll see
Valtteri start his career as a fully fledged Formula One driver.'
