At the same time, Tricorp has committed itself to the same concept of sustainability as Formula E itself, ensuring that worn-out clothing is recycled.

As new team partners, Tricorp, will kit out HWA RACELAB with team wear next season. Tricorp logos will in future be visible on the two racing cars, team clothing and pit equipment.

“For us, a dedicated team is more than the sum of its members,” said Nina Adams, CEO of Tricorp GmbH. “Working together means thinking in terms of solutions and challenges, being there for one another while collaborating together. We are like HWA RACELAB in that respect, whose team, including mechanics, engineers and drivers, also has to work like cogs in a machine. Tricorp and HWA RACELAB are united in the pursuit of absolute perfection. It’s sport at the highest level, but above all, real team sport that never lets up.”

The company was founded in 1998, using the name Rom88 initially. From the very beginning, the goal was to provide customers with high-quality workwear to enable professionals in the workplace to perform day-to-day tasks in the most efficient manner. Depending on the sector, Tricorp not only has to meet different requirements and various standards but must also take into account the diverse needs of its customers. As a member of the Fair Wear Foundation, the company pays due diligence to fair and safe working conditions.

“Tricorp stands for professional workwear,” said Ulrich Fritz, CEO of HWA AG. “As banal as it may sound, team clothing plays an important role in motorsport. After all, it has to be functional and comfortable, fit properly while working and present the right image to the public. We are delighted to have found a partner in Tricorp who shares our ideas. Our team is beginning to take shape as the start of the season draws closer. I can hardly wait for our first season in Formula E to get underway.”

HWA RACELAB will make their ABB FIA Formula E race debut at the season opener of the electric race series on December 15th in Diriyah (Saudi Arabia).
