The story is unusual…
In 1962, Romeo Zoccarato was employed in Aprilia's paint department. Today, the company he created when leaving the Italian group is a leader in the industrial paint sector in Italy, with six factories (three dedicated to powder paint, two to liquid coating and one to cataphoresis treatment ), employs more than 170 people… And becomes a technical sponsor of the Noale MotoGP team!
The Zoccarato Industrial Painting logo will be visible on the mudguards of the two Aprilia RS-GPAleix Espargaro et Andrea Iannone, as well as in the box and on the MotoGP team trucks.
Zoccarato Alessio, Zoccarato Industrial Painting AD: “It is an honor for us to become technical partners of Aprilia Racing Team Gresini. Romeo Zoccarato, the founder of the company, started this activity in 1962, after professional experience as an employee in the paint department of Aprilia. After 50 years of experience, passion and attention to detail have led us here. We wanted to be present within this team, a team that shows the same passion for their mission that we have for ours. I wish the Gresini Racing Team good luck! The 2019 adventure has only just begun! »
Fausto Gresini, Team Manager: “Romeo's story is truly wonderful: he goes from being an employee of the paint department to being a sponsor of Aprilia Racing Team Gresini. It is with real pleasure that we welcome the Zoccarato family, owners of a large Italian company with an incredible tradition like ours. There is a clear synergy between our two institutions and I hope that this new partnership will bring immediate and positive results. »
