CSF Inox to replace Ceramica Panaria

The CSF Inox Group of Montecchio has been announced as the replacement sponsor for Ceramica Panaria at Roberto Reverberi's Italian Professional Continental squad. The company has inked a three year agreement with the outfit, which according to a team release will contest next year's Giro d'Italia and Tour of Denmark.

"It's a commitment to promote the image of our Group at a European level," declared the CSF Inox Group's President Rolando Paterlini, "but also aims at the fairness, professional capacity and humanity of a person like Bruno Reverberi, an extraordinary man who has gained his rightful place in the history of Italian cycling."

Reverberi and the company signed off on the sponsorship agreement last week, after its multi-year sponsorship offer helped CSF Inox Group claim the title sponsorship from several other interested Italian companies. The Montecchio-based company produces pumps and valves for the food, beverage and pharmaceutical industries.

The new co-title sponsorship arrangement will offer a "considerable increase" to the team's campaign over coming years, according to the release. The squad's 2008 lineup will be officially presented on November 16 at the Milan Trade Fair.
