Lampre
Lampre is the leading sponsor of the professional Italian cycling team with the same name. Lampre appeared on a cycling jersey of a professional team for the first time in 1991. Besides the victory in the Milan-Sanremo with Maurizio Fondriest which was obtained in 1993 there was also the overall UCI World Cup victory in that same year. In 1999, in partneship with Daikin, Lampre had the honour of being known as one of the great teams with the World Champion jersey been worn by Oscar Camenzind. Lampre-Daikin in 2001, thanks to Gilberto Simoni, won the Tour of Italy. After two seasons in which Lampre was main sponsor of the team driven by Giuseppe Saronni, the Galbusera family have decided to amalgamate with other sponsors in order to follow the UCI-ProTour project: from union between Lampre group and Saeco group was born team Lampre-Caffita, with champions such as Damiano Cunego and Gilberto Simoni. In 2006 a new partnership has begun: Fondital has become the new main partner of Lampre. Fondital heads an European Group that designs and produces aluminium radiators.
