NEW BRITAIN, Conn. and LONDON, UK, April 27, 2018 –Stanley Black & Decker(NYSE: SWK) andDS维珍赛车today announced that Stanley Black & Decker’s STANLEY® brand is now an Official Partner of DS Virgin Racing’s Formula E Team, beginning with this weekend’s FIA Formula E Championship race at the Circuit des Invalides in Paris, France.
As part of the agreement,斯坦利工程紧固将为DS维珍车队提供技术和运营支持，该车队最近在罗马的E级方程式第四季比赛中获胜。除了向团队提供工具、紧固系统和解决方案以及其他高性能产品外，斯坦利还将与团队的工程师合作，以帮助团队开发未来的技术。
近100年来，斯坦利工程紧固公司一直致力于紧固和装配技术的革新，旗下知名品牌包括Avdel、Nelson、POP、Tucker和Spiralock。如今，在欧洲和北美制造的所有新车和轻型卡车中，90%以上都使用该公司的工程紧固件。
In addition to providing a platform for cutting edge technology and innovation, the partnership underscores Stanley Black & Decker’s commitment to sustainability and reducing environmental impact. Aligning with Virgin, another highly purpose-driven organization, the partnership is in keeping with the company’s broader ECOSMART™ plan and pledge to become carbon positive by 2030.
斯坦利工程公司总裁约翰·怀亚特说：“DS维珍车队是斯坦利·布莱克和德克公司的理想合作伙伴，因为他们分享了我们的激情和目标——通过技术和可持续创新改变世界。”。“车队在开发这项运动最先进的技术方面处于领先地位，因此我们很高兴为车队在赛道上的成功做出贡献，并加快可持续交通解决方案的发展，帮助我们为大家建设一个更美好的未来。”
“As a company that has put innovation at its core for 175 years, this partnership provides an opportunity to further expand our reach to a younger demographic of fans in a sport that will help shape the future of transportation and how our products are used by new generations of customers,” Wyatt added.
DS Virgin Racing是全电动国际汽联E级方程式锦标赛的创始和领先车队之一，该锦标赛是世界上第一个全电动单座赛车系列赛，目前在车队和车手积分榜上均排名第二。伴随着无数的胜利和领奖台，它仍然是自成立以来为数不多的几个在系列赛每个赛季都取得胜利的球队之一。
“We look for partners that, like us, put purpose at the center of how they do business and that are focused on delivering innovative new solutions that make a positive impact on the world, which is why we’re excited to welcome Stanley Black & Decker to our team,” said Alex Tai, Team Principal, DS Virgin Racing Team. “At this critical stage in the season, every advantage we can find is crucial, and having the latest equipment and technologies available to our team will help improve our efficiency and contribute that extra winning margin – while also helping us deliver on our innovation and sustainability goals.
该团队还从一开始就参与了E级方程式，并利用其平台让商界领袖了解可持续发展和不懈创新的重要性。在纽约举行的2017年E级方程式赛车前夕，维珍集团创始人理查德·布兰森和DS维珍车队共同主办了纽约创新峰会。陶氏化学公司（Dow Chemical Company）、莱昂纳多·迪卡普里奥基金会（Leonardo DiCaprio Foundation）和兰扎特克（Lanzatech）等公司的首席执行官与布兰森一起讨论了商业如何积极影响人们的生活和拯救地球。
作为赞助计划的一部分，斯坦利·布莱克和德克将在其社交媒体频道上为赛车迷提供幕后视频片段，介绍车队的运营和比赛日活动。该公司还将为粉丝们提供一次赢得一生一次VIP体验的机会。
