Two top brands join forces to seek new success
The reds put down basketballs and got their hands on keys! Tuesday afternoon the presentation of the collaboration between Olympiacos BC and FMS that is going to be an Official Company Sponsor for the next two years was took place.
Vassilis Spanoulis, Matt Lojeski, Kostas Sloukas, Bryant Dunston and Vangelis Mantzaris went to the company’s facilities together with Olympiacos’ General Director Mr. Christos Stavropoulos and the Commercial Director Mr. Nikos Lepeniotis.
The two latter together with the team captain and FMS’ CEO Mr. Nikolaos Vranas were on the panel and explored the benefits of the said deal for both parties.
At the end of the Press Conference the players and the administrates of Olympiacos BC were given a tour of the contemporary FMS facility (private vehicle fleet management group) at Rentis and watched first - hand how a beat down car can become anew.
VASSILIS SPANOULIS (Captain of Olympiacos BC): We are happy to be here and present our collaboration with a top notch company like FMS. We are all the more happy to be trusted to walk with us. I wish this is a long term co-operation and a lucky one, combined with a lot of success so that both parties are content.
CHRISTOS STAVROPOULOS (General Director of Olympiacos BC): I welcome FMS on behalf of the Olympiacos BC family. We are very happy for the new deal with FMS that binds us together for the next couple of years. We think very high of the car sponsorship agreement because we do value our athletes’ safety when driving. This is what FMS is offering together with eco cars and we are very happy about it.
ΝIKOLAOS VRANAS (FMS CEO): I would like to welcome you to new FMS facility in the Piraeus broader area.
FMS was founded in 1992 as a small lights shop in Moschato and today, 20 years later, owns two major facilities in Gerakas and Renits, one of the same caliber in Thessaloniki and an equal proportions one in Iraklion Crete, at the same time maintaining collaborations throughout Greece.

Our weapon is innovative services and high standard quality at especially affordable prices.
Our goal for 2014 is to be declared by the public as the most suitable service provider for their cars. We are going to do this through three joint accounts: an inspiring administration that makes creative investments, strategic investments that produce results and exquisite results that excite those who put their trust in us.
And of course who is the best ambassador of this message? Only the one that has already done the same before us with extreme success. None other than Olympiacos. Only they during a terrible crisis for the country, with reasonable investing, inspiring leadership and players that believed in the their vision, achieved its European goals, urging many teams to follow on their example and the whole of Europe into admitting that Olympiacos is not just another European team but all European teams have to be like Olympiacos.
Many will ask what is this that you can expect from Olympiacos by now? Haven’t they done the best they could have?
We are with Olympiacos because we believe that nothing is impossible when you believe, plan and persist. And this team, just like FMS, have not yet shown how far they can go.
ΝIKOS LEPENIOTIS (Commercial Director of Olympiacos BC): I would also like to welcome FMS, the largest company of vehicle fleet management, to the sponsoring family of Olympiacos. It is the first time FMS is choosing a sporting sponsorship and I think they have chosen the most powerful brand there is in Greek Sports. We are here to help the company do even better, despite already being the leader in its field. We hope to continue being successful and through this success FMS has more commercial success.
