Stanley Black & Decker Is to Continue Working with Kawasaki

Stanley Black & Decker is to continue working with Kawasaki after renewing its sponsorship of the British Superbike team. Building on the relationship forged with MSS Colchester Kawasaki over the two previous seasons, Stanley Black & Decker’s Industrial and Automotive Repair division has renewed its major Mac Tools and Facom branded sponsorship deal for 2012. The deal highlights both Mac Tools’ and Facom’s continued commitment to British motorsport and provides the British Superbike team with top-of-the-range tools from both brands for its mechanics and engineers for the 2012 championship season, which kicks off on Easter weekend at Brands Hatch. For team principal, Nick Morgan, the continued support from Stanley Black & Decker is an exciting prospect. He says, “We are extremely delighted to welcome Mac Tools and Facom back into the fold for a third successive season. "The tools are of the highest quality and have proven themselves time and again. "Having top-notch tools available is crucial, especially at the race track. With Mac Tools and Facom products in the garage, our riders can roll down the pit lane with complete confidence. "We're thrilled to have achieved podium finishes from both BSB riders, along with 18 podiums across the classes in 2011. We proved that we are more than capable of running at the front and need to carry that momentum through to next season. "We are proud to be part of the championship and equally proud to be have such a supportive sponsor in Stanley Black & Decker. 2012 promises to be an exciting season for all involved.” Facom and Mac Tools will supply tools and toolboxes to the pit garage and the brands’ logos will be displayed on both the team bikes' livery and the riders' leathers. Tony Prueitt, sales director for the Industrial and Automotive Repair division at Stanley Black & Decker, says, “The 2010 and 2011 MSS Kawasaki sponsorship deals have been a great success for Mac Tools and Facom. The brands are now becoming synonymous with motorsport achievement and it made perfect sense to continue the relationship this year.” Source: facom.com
