BEUMER Group has entered into a multi-year partnership with FC Schalke 04. Starting with the 2026–27 season, the family-owned company based in Beckum will become the Royal Blues’ main and jersey partner. The agreement runs until at least 2029 and applies to all leagues. This long-term partnership is based on shared values and strong regional ties.
“BEUMER Group and Schalke 04 are a perfect match. We share fundamental values such as reliability, hard work and innovation. Both partners have a strong regional identity that remains evident to this day. With great ambition and absolute passion, the BEUMER Group and Schalke 04 successfully hold their own against fierce competition in their respective business sectors,’ says Matthias Tillmann, Chairman of the Executive Board of FC Schalke 04. “BEUMER Group has locations in more than 70 countries and is a champion in its field. We are proud to have such a strong partner on our jerseys in future.”
As a family-run business with a 90-year history, BEUMER Group follows its own unique path under the slogan “Made Different”. This approach prioritises long-term thinking and responsible action over short-term trends and has shaped the company’s development over the decades, forming the basis for partnerships that prioritise substance and sustainability over expediency.
Both BEUMER Group and FC Schalke 04 have deep roots in the region and a history shaped by industrial change. BEUMER Group started out in 1935 as a manufacturer of conveyor technology for the local cement industry and mining sector.
“Our family, our company and Schalke 04 have a long-standing connection. We started out 90 years ago manufacturing conveyor technology for the mining industry, so we are familiar with the strong, unifying values of the Ruhr region’s culture. Hans Klodt, who played as a goalkeeper for Schalke 04 for ten years, also worked for us for a further twenty-five years. ‘Reliable’, ‘down-to-earth’, ‘ambitious’ and ‘collaborative’ – these four values form the foundation of the corporate culture that we live by,” says Dr Christoph Beumer, BEUMER Group’s Chairman of the Advisory Board, when describing the partnership.
