BUFFALO, NY – The University at Buffalo Athletics Department and its multimedia rights holder, LEARFIELD’s Bulls Sports Properties, have announced that Sonwil has been named the Official Logistics Partner of UB Athletics. As part of this multi-year relationship, Sonwil will be the newest member of “Team UB” and will be represented throughout Alumni Arena and UB Stadium.
To show its support for UB Athletics, Sonwil will be commissioning a fully wrapped semi-trailer showcasing UB Athletics which will be used by the UB Football team at home and away to provide safe storage and transfer of their athletic equipment.
“UB, its administration, faculty, students and alumni have proven themselves valuable partners to Sonwil as we grow our footprint in Western New York,” commented Jason Ickert, president of Sonwil Logistics and Sonwil Transportation. “Through our college internship program, we continue to partner with UB to host logistics learning and development opportunities for UB students, many who become full time team members of Sonwil after graduation. Our sponsorship of UB Athletics is another way that we can show our support for UB and its mission.”
“We are extremely excited to welcome Sonwil as the newest Team UB partner” said Vice President and Director of Athletics Mark Alnutt. “Sonwil is a growing company in the Buffalo area that has already provided many career opportunities and internships to UB Alumni and students, so we look forward to building upon that relationship. It will also be great to see the Buffalo Spirit mark on many of the Sonwil trucks that will showcase the UB Athletics brand throughout the northeast.”
