THE FIM has announced that Italian clothing manufacturer, AXO Sport Spa, has been chosen as provider of official FIM gear for all the FIM delegates and officials. This agreement is valid until 2011.As clothing provider of the FIM, AXO Sport Spa is assigned by the FIM all necessary clothing to its delegates and officials on duty during FIM World Championship and Prize events. AXO Sport will benefit from all the FIM events and from the new FIM communication platform. FIM president, Vito Ippolito, stated: I am very pleased that the FIM has now been able to finalise a deal of this nature. It is the first time that the FIM has reached an agreement with an accessory manufacturer. This will definitely help to make our delegates and officials easier to identify, and improve the image of the FIM by making it much more professional and providing it with high quality products.
AXO Sport has been on the market for a long time and has a very solid and successful experience and a very good image, providing not only good products but also the passion for motorcycling to its customers.
It has been dedicated for years in offering the best products to all users and thus, obviously the FIM will be provided with top quality products. I am sure that this agreement will be very satisfactory for both parties and this collaboration will continue in the future.
Bruno Zago, president of AXO Sport, said: We are extremely delighted and proud to announce the beginning of this partnership with the FIM, which we hope will be long lasting and profitable.''
AXO has a long tradition, not only as leading manufacturer of motorcycle clothing and accessories, but also as official supplier of materials and technical equipment to clubs and organisers of World Championship events.
Among its most recent partnerships, is one with Dorna in its last years of activity in World Moto-cross, plus one, still on-going, with FG Sport, the company that owns the rights to and organises the FIM Superbike and Supersport World Championships, as well as another with the well-known Doctor Costa's Clinica Mobile.
It has been easy, following this tradition, to make a step towards the partnership with the FIM. The passion we feel for the field we are involved in, combined with our high-quality products and our ability in customizing our equipment upon our customers' requests, have always made AXO a perfect technical partner.
In the year of our 30th anniversary, the beginning of this partnership represents another way to underline our wish to get even nearer to the world we love so much and that has given us many exciting moments, as well as many great results and to confirm the ability of our factory to supply motorcyclists with everything they may need, both on track and off track!
