Porsche LMP Team builds on consistent partnerships
Stuttgart. In the 2017 FIA World Endurance Championship WEC, the Porsche LMP Team once again can rely on strong partners. “Most of the companies are partners since the launch of the LMP1 programme”, explains Fritz Enzinger, Vice President LMP1. He adds: “Also brands that joined us later have extended their cooperation for 2017. We are pleased to have a partner portfolio that is characterized by diversity and trust. With some of the companies we share a fruitful involvement in the areas of research and development. Other partnerships focus on the successful joint brand appearance.”DMG MORI enters its fourth season in the role of the Porsche LMP Team’s exclusive premium partner. The name DMG MORI stands for the union of two of the world's leading machine tool manufacturers: DMG MORI SEIKI AKTIENGESELLSCHAFT, Bielefeld, Germany, and DMG MORI SEIKI COMPANY LIMITED, Tokyo, Japan. With 22 production locations in total, 164 national and international sales and service locations the DMG MORI group has achieved a worldwide presence. DMG MORI's expansion of its machine tool sector is based on a consistent focus on high-growth industries such as the automotive, aerospace, medical technology and power engineering sectors. Porsche has found a partner in DMG MORI, which, as innovation leader in the field of machine tool manufacturing, can contribute to its success in motorsport.
Chopard stays on board too, being the Porsche LMP Team’s official timing partner. The Geneva based company was founded by Louis-Ulysse Chopard in 1860. Bought by the Scheufele family in 1963, Chopard has built its reputation further, and, by employing 1700 people worldwide and having subsidiaries in Europe, Asia and North America, today is one of the world’s most successful jewellery and watch makers.
Vodafone remains the Porsche LMP Team’s official communication partner.

Across established and emerging markets, the Vodafone Global Enterprise global network spans 150 countries and their experienced team of over 3,000 people supports more than 1,700 multi-national corporations worldwide.

The renowned French tyre manufacturer Michelin and the US American Exxon Mobil Corporation with its lubricant brand of Mobil 1 are also with the team since it’s maiden season. Both traditionally use their motorsport involvement for the development and trial of new technologies that are beneficial for products of both partners.
The German luminaire manufacturer TRILUX supports the Porsche LMP Team with customised, energy-efficient and future-capable lighting solutions as official lighting partner. Furthermore, faithful long time Porsche motorsport partners are the C. & A. Veltins brewery and battery cell manufacturer A123 Systems.
