("Renold", the "Company" or the "Group")
Renold Renew Partnership with
British Cycling
Renold (AIM: RNO), a leading
international supplier of industrial chains and related power
transmission products, is pleased to announce that it has renewed
its successful partnership with British Cycling for a further three
years, which will see Renold continue to provide bespoke bike
chains for the Great Britain Cycling Team.
This long-standing partnership has
seen Renold and Bristol University share their expertise to deliver
bespoke handmade chains for the Great Britian Cycling Team's track
cyclists since 2011.
Since the Rio 2016 Olympic Games,
Renold has created a specific Olympic chain, which has supported
continued success on the track. The chain evolved through to the
Tokyo Games, for which an entirely new chain was unveiled, offering
more efficiency than previous models.
The renewed partnership will see
over 100 bespoke chains manufactured for the British Olympic and
Paralympic teams at the Paris 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games
this summer.
Stephen Park CBE, Performance Director for the Great Britain
Cycling Team, said:
"We're delighted to renew our
partnership with Renold until 2027. Our mission is to be the best
sports team in the world and having such a high quality partner in
Renold, who have been providing us with the best bike chains since
2011, supports us greatly towards that goal. We look forward to
seeing what further innovations the next three years of our
partnership will bring."
Darren Henry, Commercial Director for British Cycling
said:
"Securing the ongoing support of an
expert partner such as Renold highlights the value that such a
long-term and collaborative partnership brings to both
organisations. Our valued technical and equipment partners play a
vital role in supporting both British Cycling and the Great Britain
Cycling Team to deliver continued success in the future, and power
us towards our mission to bring the joy of cycling to
everyone."
Rodrigo Andres, Renold Chain Europe's Commercial Director
said: "We are very proud to work
with British Cycling and play our part in the success of one of the
most successful track cycling teams in the world. The fact that
Renold has been British Cycling's chosen chain partner for well
over a decade illustrates the outstanding, market leading, quality
and performance offered by our highly engineered chains. We wish
the team every success in the coming Olympics and all future
competitions."
