Published on: 10/09/2014

Yanmar is proud to announce that they have become a Manchester United Official Global Partner. The partnership which started in the 2012 season is for a period of three-years.

Yanmar hopes to extend its long standing association with Japanese football to the UK and other global markets. As part of the company’s corporate social responsibility policy it has long established links with the world’s most popular sport, even going as far as establishing its own club in Japan and has been actively supporting young talented footballers in Asia.

Chairman & President of Yanmar, Takehito Yamaoka said, “Since establishing its own team in Japan back in 1957, Yanmar has been championing the sporting ethos football creates, such as hard work, determination and excitement. Many of these traits are still the core values of Yanmar today.”

With Manchester United’s popularity and presence in Asia and the world, Yanmar is confident that this partnership will promote the company’s global presence and activities. Barrus invited a number of Yanmar customers in the UK to watch Manchester United’s training session at Carrington Road and as guests at the match with Liverpool at the beginning of January 2013
