Giti Supports One of the Top Basketball Teams in Uruguay
For the second consecutive season, Giti sponsors the basketball team of Club Malvín, one of the most respected and awarded in Uruguay. Founded on January 28, 1938, the club has around 6.000 members and is committed to training, educating, and retaining athletes in various sports modalities. Basketball is the most famous and gives the club the most visibility. Club Malvín has participated in the Uruguayan Basketball League 56 times since 1942, having been five-time champions in 2018. It has also finished as runners-up on four occasions. It is the biggest competition winner and now seeks its sixth title.
This initiative demonstrates Giti's versatility and commitment to investing in sports that go beyond automotive competitions, allowing the brand to connect with the passion and emotion that basketball provokes in its followers. “This sponsorship not only increases our reach and visibility but also provides greater loyalty to our brand among the basketball fans, one of the most admired and practiced in the country,” explains Stephan Bernheim, from Components & Accessories. Founded in 1994, the company has been Giti's partner in Uruguay since 2004.
In addition to basketball, Giti has also renewed its support for BK Mladá Boleslav, one of the leading hockey teams in the Czech Republic. The team plays in the main league of the sport—the Tipsport Extraliga—with seasons running from September to March. This means further expanding the company's legacy of innovation and passion in the sports world, ensuring it is synonymous with excellence and enthusiasm both on and off the field.
