The BEUMER Group has established a multi-year partnership with FC Schalke 04, which will take effect from the 2026/27 season. The family-owned company from Beckum will serve as the main and jersey partner of the football team, and the agreement is valid until at least 2029, regardless of the league in which the club plays. The partnership is designed for long-term collaboration and is based on a shared understanding of values as well as a strong regional connection.
Shared Values and Regional Identity
Matthias Tillmann, Chairman of the Board of FC Schalke 04, emphasizes the alignment of values between the BEUMER Group and the football club. “We share fundamental values such as reliability, diligence, and innovation. Both partners are characterized by a strong regional identity that is still palpable today,” explains Tillmann. He highlights that the BEUMER Group operates in more than 70 countries and is regarded as a leading company in its field. “We are proud to have such a strong partner on our chest in the future,” he adds.
The BEUMER Group, which looks back on a 90-year history, pursues an independent approach under the claim “Made Different.” This stands for long-term thinking and responsible action, rather than following short-term trends. This philosophy has shaped the development of the company over decades and forms the basis for a partnership aimed at substance and sustainability.
Historical Roots and Stability
The BEUMER Group and FC Schalke 04 are deeply rooted in the region and share a history shaped by industrial change. The BEUMER Group began in 1935 as a manufacturer of conveyor technology for the local cement industry and mining. This connection to mining history is shared by the company with the miners of Schalke, who were once founded in the shadow of the Consolidation mine. Together, both partners look back on more than 200 years of history.
In economically and socially challenging times, stability is becoming an increasingly important success factor. While many companies are scaling back their investments or relocating abroad, the BEUMER Group consciously commits to the region and the location in Germany. This sense of responsibility is also reflected in the partnership with FC Schalke 04, which is independent of the league and designed for the long term. Dr. Christoph Beumer, Managing Director of the BEUMER Group, explains: “We want to live this partnership. You win and lose together. That is what makes it credible and strong.”
A Deep Rooting in the Region
The BEUMER Group and FC Schalke 04 share a deep rooting in the region and a history shaped by industrial change. The BEUMER Group began in 1935 as a manufacturer of conveyor technology for the local cement industry and mining. With its activities in mining and open-pit mining, the company shares part of its history with the miners who were once founded in the shadow of the Consolidation mine. Together, both partners look back on more than 200 years of history.
“The connection between our family and our company to Schalke 04 has a long tradition. We started 90 years ago as a manufacturer of conveyor technology, including in mining, and therefore understand the strong and unifying values of the Ruhr area culture. Hans Klodt, who guarded the Schalke goal for over 10 years, was also employed with us for 25 years afterward. Values such as reliability, down-to-earthness, ambition, and collaboration are not just empty phrases, but lived corporate culture,” states Dr. Christoph Beumer, Chairman of the Advisory Board of the BEUMER Group, regarding the partnership .
