Lincoln City have confirmed a landmark 10-year stadium naming rights agreement with ProAmpac, which will see the Sincil Bank renamed the ProAmpac Stadium.
The deal represents one of the most significant commercial partnerships in the club’s recent history, bringing together City and a global company with a strong local presence. ProAmpac, which specialises in flexible packaging and material science, is headquartered in the United States and operates more than 80 manufacturing facilities across four continents.
While the business has an international footprint, the partnership has been framed around its links to Lincolnshire and its commitment to the communities in which its employees live and work. The club say the agreement will provide a platform to support local initiatives, promote innovation and create opportunities across the region over the next decade.
“To secure a partnership of this scale and duration is a hugely exciting moment for the football club,” said Bobby Copping, Lincoln City’s Head of Commercial.
“ProAmpac is a world-leading business with an impressive international footprint and ambitious plans for growth in Lincolnshire and across the world.
“Throughout our discussions it was clear that they wanted to make a genuine contribution to the community as well as support the football club.
“This partnership is about much more than the stadium name. It is the start of a long-term relationship that will help us continue to grow on and off the pitch, while creating opportunities to engage with supporters, local organisations and the wider Lincolnshire community.
“ProAmpac’s commitment to the region, its investment in local people and its ambition for future growth make them a fantastic partner for Lincoln City. ProAmpac shares our ambition to make a lasting impact across Lincolnshire, and we’re proud to welcome them as a long-term partner as we build an exciting future together.”
The agreement is intended to go beyond matchdays, with both parties pointing to community engagement and regional support as central parts of the partnership.
“Lincolnshire is home to our employees and operations, making this collaboration a meaningful way to support the community we proudly call home,” said Greg Tucker, Founder and CEO at ProAmpac.
“Together, we’re supporting local initiatives, creating opportunities, and celebrating the pride and resilience that define both ProAmpac and Lincolnshire.”
City and ProAmpac say they now intend to build a long-term relationship focused on bringing people together, backing local initiatives and supporting Lincolnshire over the coming years.
