New year, new cycling season
Ekopak is again the proud shirt sponsor of the cycling team Soudal Quick-Step and the women’s team AG Insurance Soudal (both nicknamed “the Wolfpack”). With this sponsorship, we aim to build brand awareness across the globe. This partnership also helps us to create awareness about the importance of water.
Sport is an important aspect at Ekopak and is highly encouraged to our E-team (that is how we nickname the Ekopak workforce). In 2023, we have obtained the Sportlabel from Sport Vlaanderen.
