CLINTON TOWNSHIP, Mich.,
Sept. 18, 2018 /PRNewswire/ --
Axalta, a leading global supplier of liquid and powder coatings
(NYSE: AXTA), announced today that it has signed a multi-year
agreement to become the "Official Paint Partner of the Jacksonville
Jaguars."
Under the new sponsorship, two swim spas in the Jaguars' home
stadium, TIAA Bank Field, are being branded as the Axalta Spas.
Located in the north end zone, each 10 ft. x 31 ft. spa overlooks
the playing field, giving fans an unmatched way to watch games.
Prominent Axalta branding will surround the spas.
"Axalta is pleased to be partnering with such an iconic brand
and organization as the Jacksonville Jaguars," said Steven R. Markevich, Axalta Executive Vice
President. "This partnership exemplifies the highest quality
from both arenas – the Jaguars putting a quality team on the field
every week and Axalta using only the highest quality products with
the Jaguars and the TIAA Bank Field. We also look forward to
working with the City of
Jacksonville and with our many customers located in the
greater Jacksonville
area."
Axalta's line up coatings include Imron coatings for the marine
sector, a full line of Industrial coatings for architectural
applications as well as Transportation coatings for any type of
vehicle that moves people or goods. Each Axalta product provides
excellent resistance to weathering, humidity, chemicals and
abrasion while maintaining brilliant color.
In addition to the Axalta Spas, under the agreement Axalta will
partner with the Jaguars on a Jacksonville mural project on TIAA Bank
Field's exterior.
"The north end zone spas are one of TIAA Bank Field's most
recognizable features worldwide," said Scott Massey, Jaguars senior vice president of
corporate partnerships. "With that in mind, it's fitting to
welcome a global brand like Axalta to the Jaguars family of
corporate partners in such a unique partnership. We're eager
work with them on beautifying our stadium, both inside and
out."
