    MERCEDES AMG PETRONAS AND HUGO BOSS ANNOUNCE PARTNERSHIP.

    MERCEDES AMG PETRONAS: Partnership with HUGO BOSS, effective from 2015 onwards.

Mercedes-Benz and HUGO BOSS formally intensified their existing co-operations earlier this year.

HUGO BOSS, a market leader in the upper premium and luxury global apparel market, becomes a Team Partner of MERCEDES AMG PETRONAS, and the team's Official Supplier of Lifestyle and Formal Wear Clothing. With Mercedes-Benz and HUGO BOSS formally intensifying their existing co-operations earlier this year, extending the partnership into the brand's Formula One team was a logical progression. A long-standing supporter of Formula One and motorsport, HUGO BOSS has vast experience in sport and lifestyle sponsorship where Mercedes-Benz is also active.
