For the next five years, until December 31, 2023, the PalaTrento will officially take the name of "BLM Group Arena". The partnership agreement between the Municipality of Trento (which had promoted the awarding of the title sponsor of the Via Fersina structure in the past few months) and the BLM Group (the Italian group of automatic machine tools for metal and sheet metal working) ) has been presented to the press this morning at the Hospitality Hall of the same facility. Among the many personalities present at the conference, also the General Manager of Trentino Volley Bruno Da Re and the coach Angelo Lorenzetti.
“Trento is the only one, along with Milan, to boast two teams in the top category of volleyball and basketball, but it is the only one that sees them play in the same building. From this point of view we are even more important than Milan - underlined the Councilor for Sports of the City of Trento Tiziano Uez - even more so the PalaTrento offers a great visibility, which the City Council has decided to make available to who wants to invest in a sponsorship. We have been lucky enough to find the enthusiastic response of a multinational like BLM Group and we are satisfied with the agreement. "
"BLM Group is a multinational company present in Trentino with two branches, in Levico; we therefore feel Trentini to all intents and purposes - explained the General Manager of BLM Group Luca Arighi -. We are among the largest industrial companies in the province, but at the same time we are more known in the world than in Trentino and this is why we decided to sponsor the PalaTrento. We want the community to know how much we invest in the territory. The combination will guarantee us greater popularity because the BLM Group Arena is a place that is particularly dear to the many fans of our land ". "PalaTrento has always been the home of Trentino Volley, we are happy with this partnership and are happy that it has taken the name of an important company - added General Manager Bruno Da Re -. I recently had the opportunity to visit the factories of Levico and I was impressed, I hope that the same attention, care and precision that I found in Valsugana can be reproduced inside the building. We would like to welcome the BLM Group and the BLM Group Arena ".

The debut of the new name of PalaTrento will take place on the occasion of a match of Trentino Volley, which already on October 15, 2000 disputed the first historic match within its walls: Tuesday, March 20 at 20.30 at the BLM Group Arena will be played in fact the return match of the Playoffs 12 of 2018 CEV Volleyball Champions League between Trentino Diatec and the French Champions of Chaumont VB 52 Haute Marne.
