Mapei, a leading manufacturer of chemical products for the building industry, has signed a sponsorship agreement with Pallacanestro Cantù, a basketball team from Como playing in the Italian Basketball League Serie A. The Milan-based company will be the club's Silver Sponsor for the 2025–2026 season.
"We are delighted to welcome Mapei to the family of Biancoblu partners," said Andrea Mauri, member of the board of directors of Pallacanestro Cantù and managing director of Cantù Arena. "This agreement has a dual significance: on the one hand for the Club, which benefits from the support of a company that has always been close to the world of sport; on the other hand for the Arena, of which Mapei is an important partner. I would like to thank CEOs Veronica and Marco Squinzi for their trust and for choosing to support our projects."
In addition to its involvement in sport, Mapei is also involved in the construction of the new Cantù Arena, a multi-purpose sports hall located in Corso Europa, which will be inaugurated in October 2026. The company is supplying many of its construction products for this innovative project. The new 5,200-seat arena will host Pallacanestro Cantù's home games, as well as sporting events, concerts and various other shows. This state-of-the-art facility represents a symbol of rebirth for the city and its glorious basketball tradition.
"We are proud to support Pallacanestro Cantù in this sporting season," said Marco Squinzi, CEO of Mapei. "Mapei has been focusing on sport for years: from grass pitches to motor racing circuits, from tracks to oceans, in almost 90 years of history we have undertaken many sporting adventures, always with the same determination and desire to win. Passion, hard work, commitment and teamwork are fundamental factors in our company's DNA, values that bind us inextricably to the world of sport. For us, supporting Cantù basketball means sharing these principles with a community that believes in the same ideals. We are also excited to contribute, with our products, to the construction of the new Cantù Arena, the team's future home."
With this partnership, Mapei and Pallacanestro Cantù are combining their energies in the name of passion, teamwork and determination: values that have always characterised both Mapei's corporate identity and the sporting spirit of the blue and white club.
