2021-06-16Fertiberia has renewed its sponsorship of Club Balonmano Puerto Sagunto for another year. The city plant’s director, Savador Ferri, and the red-and-white club’s president, Juanjo Bataller, signed an agreement this morning in the Plenary Hall of Sagunto Town Hall, together with Sagunto mayor Dario Moreno, who worked to ensure that the agreement would be renewed for another year. The fertiliser company has once again demonstrated its commitment to handball and the city, and will accompany the club on its journey back to the Sacyr ASOBAL League. The club’s presentation was also attended by Sports Councillor Javier Timón and representatives of the red-and-white board.
Juanjo Bataller, president of the red-and-white club, thanked those present who had made the signing of this agreement possible: ‘Thank you very much, Mayor and Fertiberia. We are very happy to be able to count on Fertiberia’s sponsorship for another year. Without this support, we could not be in the handball elite, maintain the project or hope to return to ASOBAL. This sponsorship is absolutely fundamental. I would only ask that next year’s renewal take place a little earlier so that we can organise ourselves better. I am very happy and very grateful’.
The director of Fertiberia’s Sagunto plant, Salvador Ferri, explained in turn: ‘Fertiberia wants to continue its commitment to sport. People see the sponsorship as a company accompanying a team in the elite, but that elite is the mirror in which many children who are starting to practise this sport see themselves. This is the tenth consecutive year that Fertiberia has sponsored the team, and we have always been there, both in the Asobal League and in the Silver division. You have to be there through the hard times and the good times. Thanks to Fertiberia’s president, who has worked very hard to make this happen’.
Sagunto mayor Dario Moreno said: ‘Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Today I am witnessing an agreement in whose negotiations I have taken part, allowing Fertiberia to remain the sponsor for another year. It is good news. When we talk about sponsorship and corporate social responsibility, we have to analyse what the company is doing. Fertiberia is showing that it cares about the area in which it operates, which already creates a series of essential long-term social and civic ties. If, tomorrow, Fertiberia needs any kind of support, it will not only find the backing of Sagunto Town Hall, which it will certainly have; I am convinced that the community will rally to help a company that has demonstrated its commitment to our municipality. It also shares the same values as the handball club, a benchmark club that promotes sportsmanship and teamwork’
The mayor also had words for the cadet players currently in Porriño competing in the Spanish Championship: ‘The club does a very good job of instilling the values of handball in younger players. At the moment, we have the men’s cadet team competing for the Spanish Championship; they have already shown that they are one of the seven best teams in Spain, and that is inspiring for everyone’.
‘We are very grateful for the sponsorship because the club project would not be viable without it. It is an example for other companies to follow. I wish we had more companies like Fertiberia willing to invest in clubs that are also the future of our city. Thanks also to the club for inspiring us, and every success to the club next season’, Moreno concluded.
