Fertiberia and BM Puerto Sagunto seal their future agreement

“We were half a couple for a while and now we are going to get married with no possibility of divorce”, with these words from the President and CEO of Fertiberia, S.A., Javier Goñi del Cacho, we can sum up the signing ceremony for the four-season sponsorship deal between the Spanish fertiliser company and BM Puerto Sagunto, held in the plenary hall of Sagunto Town Hall. The plenary hall embodied the genuine unity of a company and a city, represented by all the spokespeople from across the city's political spectrum, led by the architect of the agreement, Quico Fernández, and all sections of the club: players, board and supporters, represented at the ceremony.

The first to speak was the president of Fertiberia Puerto Sagunto, Juanjo Bataller, who said ““I am delighted by Javier Goñi's presence today, because it gives us an idea of this company's commitment to Club Balonmano Puerto de Sagunto. There are not many companies that support sport in Spain as decisively as Fertiberia does. I thank you again and congratulate the president and the company on showing this sensitivity towards sport. I would also like to thank our mayor, Quico Fernández, for his efforts, because he was the one who initiated this sponsorship expansion process, without forgetting the irreplaceable support of both Rafa Uguet, director of Fertiberia's industrial group, and Juan Arbona, director of the Sagunto plant.” Juanjo Bataller concluded “For our part, we will do everything possible to repay this demonstration of Fertiberia's trust and support, and we will do everything possible to take the name of Fertiberia Puerto Sagunto to the very top.”

After Juanjo Bataller, it was the turn of Javier Goñi del Cacho, President of Fertiberia S.A., who, in an emotional speech, stated that it was Fertiberia who should thank the city for everything it provides to its Sagunto factory, ““We are here because this municipality has given us a great deal. We have an excellent relationship with the council, and as part of our company's social responsibility, we want to give back to the community everything the city has given us.” Goñi explained that this is the company's most important sponsorship, alongside its sponsorship of the Vuelta a España, and said “We are the Vuelta's longest-standing sponsor because we are a company whose raison d'être is commitment. Until now, with the Puerto Sagunto handball club, we have been half a couple, and with this sponsorship we are getting married, with no possibility of divorce.” The president of Fertiberia concluded “We do not want you to thank us; we want to thank you and convey our great satisfaction at being able to contribute our small part. We wish you every sporting success, and we would love to see you lifting the Asobal Cup in a couple of years.”

The final speaker was the Mayor of Sagunto, Quico Fernandez, who stated that “the handball club represents us as a city brand, and stability in sponsorship was needed.” Fernandez also said that “Ithink the company saw this as a good opportunity for Fertiberia S.A., which is so important to our city, to project itself through its social responsibility.” Finally, the mayor concluded: “For our city, promoting sport and sporting activities is very important. We are a city with many links to sporting activity at every level, and I believe companies' collaboration is essential so that they can also support the institutions that are making a significant effort to make sport a flagship for our city abroad.”
