Suzuki Australia has extended its partnership with NRL premiers Melbourne Storm, now taking their association with the club into its 16th year.  

Announcing the sponsorship extension at the Melbourne Storm 20 year celebration, Suzuki Australia General Manager – Automobile, Michael Pachota and Melbourne Storm CEO, Dave Donaghy, said the partnership was a significant one for both parties.

"We are thrilled to continue the partnership with the best performing rugby league team in the country. The NRL remains one of the highest profile sports in Australia and Melbourne Storm is the perfect vehicle for Suzuki to promote its rapidly growing image" said Pachota.

Melbourne Storm CEO Dave Donaghy said the four-year extension was testament to the ever-growing relationship between both organisations.

"In the dynamic business of modern sport, we are proud to have a major partner such as Suzuki Australia that have been unwavering in their support for the last 11 years and counting."

"Our players proudly wear Suzuki's iconic logo on their sleeve which is a symbol of the success we have both shared together for over a decade now."

"We are a proud family here at Melbourne Storm and we certainly consider Suzuki as a major part of our family."

Suzuki's partnership with Melbourne Storm dates back to 2008, one of the longest standing partnerships in NRL history.
