Germany-based leading multinational company specialised in hardware, consumables, and professional tools for the mobility, craftmanship and manufacturing sectors Berner has chosen Team Gresini also in 2022, as the partnership between the two institutions extends to a staggering 17 year-period this season.
Things have changed completely, from the return to MotoGP as an independent team to the choice of racing with Ducati, the return of Enea Bastianini and the step up by Enea Bastianini; Berner has not changed, however, and will be back with the Faenza-based team as MotoGP technical supplier.
ANTONIO ZUFFELLATO – BERNER ITALIA MARKETING DIRECTOR
“The partnership with Team Gresini Racing makes us very proud. To know that the team uses our products for the preparation and cleaning of the bike highlights how well-performing our solutions are to satisfy any time of need. During these years, we have built a trustworthy relationship and partnership with the whole of Team Gresini Racing: The passion for two wheels combined with sporting competitions represents a strong bond both with our company and our clients.”
CARLO MERLINI – GRESINI RACING COMMERCIAL AND MARKETING DIRECTOR
“There are very few words left to describe the importance of the relationship with Berner. I cannot even go back in time with my memory to find a season without what is such a key relationship for us. We just started this new journey and I must say that things are going pretty well so far. We can’t wait for the upcoming races in order to keep working the same we did until now – and that’s also thanks to Berner.”
