Finding such a loyal shirt partner in Ligue 1 Uber Eats and the top European leagues is almost impossible these days. Even less so as a main sponsor. Since 2004, from season to season, Stade Rennais F.C. and Samsic's employees have continued to strengthen their relationship of trust. If the club has made steady progress since the new millennium, it also owes a great deal to its loyal partners, a solid economic network, all involved in the Rouge et Noir project and supporters at the same time.
Much more than a partnership, Samsic's long-term commitment is a strong support, recognition and conviction in the Rennes project, a precious local ally. More than just a logo, the S has become a graphic landmark, inseparable from the Rennes shirt, known to all football fans in France and Europe. Hand in hand, the two Rennes institutions continue their journey, with humility and great ambitions.
Thierry Geffroy, Chairman of the Samsic Group:
« 25 years of loyalty, 25 years of emotion, 25 years of passion. It is always with the same pride that we renew our partnership, since 2004, with Stade Rennais FC. Samsic has a visceral attachment to this club, its roots, its history and all the human values it embodies. By reaffirming our commitment to Stade Rennais F.C., we are reiterating our desire to support it in its future successes and to contribute to our shared influence on the national and European stage. I would like to take this opportunity to salute the unfailing support of François and François-Henri Pinault, which has enabled the club to evolve, stabilise and reach its current level of performance. »
Olivier Cloarec, Executive Chair and Managing Director of Stade Rennais F.C. :
« We are very pleased to be extending our adventure with the Samsic Group, the club's historic partner and supporter for 20 years. Throughout these years, the Stade Rennais F.C. and Samsic employees have constantly developed this partnership which has created very strong links between the two entities. This new contract reinforces and rewards loyalty, a value shared by Stade Rennais F.C. and Samsic, local players with an international vision. It is also a human relationship that naturally led to the renewal of this partnership for the next five seasons. Thank you to the Samsic Group for its confidence. »
