The Iron welcome HITEK Electronic Materials Limited as match sponsors for our final home league game of the season against Blyth Spartans on Saturday.
The fabricating and distributing company replaced Marshall Motor Group, who were on the front of the Iron’s kits in 2022-23, with United heading in a new direction with three brand new shirts and Technical Kit Partner Kelme.
HITEK provides solutions to protect electronics from EMI/RF interference, mainly supplying the military, aerospace and industrial/commercial sectors. They offer customers prompt and effective solutions in the protection of electronics, using their excellent quality systems, processes and technical expertise as well as their collaborative approach to partnerships.
Their vision is to be the partner of choice for EMC, Microwave and Polymer Systems to key markets worldwide, by delivering unrivalled products, solutions and service through continual development of their talent and technical expertise, to guide design in the protection of electronics.
HITEK Operations director Roger Dent provided an overview of how the partnership has blossomed over the course of the season.
"With this season coming to a close, I can honestly say that HITEK Electronic Materials scored a major victory off the pitch with this sponsorship and have thoroughly enjoyed engaging with the fans, community and local businesses, as well as telling everyone who would listen how great this mighty club is.
"This season has had its ups and downs but what has shone through is unity.
"The newly formed Board of Directors at Scunthorpe United exemplify dedication. Comprising passionate individuals from Scunthorpe, they’re steering the club toward financial stability. Their balanced approach, guided by Michelle Harness’ leadership and driving force promise a fresh chapter of success.
"With HITEK Electronic Materials emblazoned on the front of the shirts, the players carry the hope of all our fans onto the pitch every time they play, and we all feel the pain of a loss.
"HITEK’s commitment to excellence aligns perfectly with Scunthorpe United’s ambitions though. Let’s delve into what makes this collaboration a game-changer. I believe our support symbolises. Professionalism, Respect, and Perseverance — qualities shared by both the company and Scunthorpe United Football Club. We also share values of Developing Talent, Working Together being Solutions Driven, it’s what keeps us moving forwards.
"The final whistle is not over on our season, and as I said when our partnership was announced June last year, we believe that the time is “right here, right now!”
"Up the Iron."
We hope they enjoy their day with us!
