This is an exemplary story of how one can contribute to the development of a sports discipline – specifically basketball, in this case – with a positive impact on the local community.
Indeed, if you bring together a well-established company and a historic basketball club, you’ll get the perfect combination of passion, commitment, and dedication.
Therefore, Special Utensili LD and Sporting Club Bitonto will continue together for another season, striving for new successes on courts all over Puglia and beyond.
“We were looking for a club with a certain prestige,” says Mimmo Laddaga, technical and commercial director of the local industrial company, “and one with which we could further interact with the surrounding area. When I met the managers of Sporting Club Bitonto, a glorious sporting presence in the city of olives, I realized we could start a fruitful partnership beneficial for everyone. The varied and numerous youth sector, the various leagues they compete in, and the unlucky yet thrilling adventure in Serie D made me understand that I had made the right choice and that it was right to continue this partnership.”
“After all, the team at Special Utensili LD,” continues Laddaga, “has been operating for thirty years in the field of designing, manufacturing, and sharpening tools. Ordinary and special tools in steel and hard alloy for high-precision chip removal mechanical processing. The company serves both the national and international industrial sectors by producing various types of tools in different shapes associated with the machines on which they are used, also providing design assistance to ensure the best solution based on the specific machining to be carried out. Therefore, for these reasons, it was natural to identify a club with the same characteristics of seriousness, longevity, and stature to start this collaboration.”
“Supporting sports practice among younger generations remains an absolute priority for us, to actively contribute to the growth of a better society,” explains and concludes with forward-looking wisdom the director.
