The Althea Racing team is proud to confirm that it has renewed its agreement with key sponsor Unibat for the upcoming 2012 World Superbike season.

Unibat has been producing high performance batteries for cars, motorcycles and heavy duty vehicles for over fifteen years and is a leader in its field across European markets. The company is the official supplier to many prestigious firms in Italy and abroad.

A main sponsor of Althea’s Superbike outfit in 2010 and 2011, Unibat’s continued support is of great importance to the team. Unibat has played a significant part in the successes that culminated in the 2011 World Superbike title for Althea Racing and rider Carlos Checa. The relationship between the two Italian companies has thus proved extremely fruitful and both parties are enthusiastic about working together again in 2012.

Antonio Annoscia, CEO of Unibat, is very happy to continue the relationship, stating that,

“Having seen team Althea’s ambitious plans for the 2012 Superbike season, we have decided to renew our contract as main sponsor of Althea Racing for another year. We believe in this team, made up of individuals who work well together on both technical and organizational levels. We’re certain that our efforts will help consolidate Unibat’s position as leader among motorcycle battery manufacturers across the globe.”

Genesio Bevilacqua, General Manager of Althea Racing, is grateful to Unibat for its continued support and confirmed:

“We are delighted to have come to an agreement with Unibat for a third consecutive season. With an extremely successful 2011 season already behind us, we look forward to working with Unibat in 2012 as we strive to consolidate this year’s performance. Unibat has been one of our most loyal supporters over the last two years and we are therefore very pleased that our relationship will continue into the coming season.”
