Macron is the new technical partner of USA Fencing

Thanks to a ten-year partnership agreement, Macron will supply sportswear to all the teams of the U.S. Fencing Federation.

USA Fencing and Macron have announced a ten-year partnership. For the governing body of Olympic and Paralympic fencing in the United States, this is the longest partnership agreement ever signed, while for Macron, the international leaders in teamwear, it is the first ever agreement with a U.S. national sports federation.

The deal, which comes in the wake of the historic achievements of American fencers in the 2024 Paris Olympics, foresees the official supply of technical sportswear to all the teams and athletes of USA Fencing. Team USA won four medals in fencing disciplines, including two golds. One in particular was the first ever team event gold for fencers from the United States.

In addition to serving as main supplier to all U.S. national fencing and parafencing teams, Macron will also work with athletes and local fencing clubs to develop custom clothing for fencers of all ages and skill levels, thereby promoting clubs and the sport as a whole at grassroots level. 

“Our partnership with USA Fencing is extremely important for us, not only because of the federation’s prestige but because it will provide a great boost for our plans to expand in the United States, which we began to implement last June by opening offices in Bridgeport, Connecticut. Sport for all and at all levels is a fundamental value for us and we are delighted to support Olympic and grassroots sport through our high-tech sportswear. An extended partnership like this will allow us to collaborate on a joint project to grow the whole US Fencing movement.” With these words, Gianluca Pavanello, CEO of Macron, expressed his satisfaction.  

“Macron is a proven leader and works with leading brands and teams all over the world.” stated USA Fencing’s CEO, Phil Andrews. “Thanks to this historic agreement with them, we have secured a partner who can support us at all stages, from the design of podium wear for our fencers in major events and tournaments to collaboration with local clubs and, most importantly, reaching out to athletes at all levels of our sport.”
