Mondial Relay (InPost Group), a specialist in out-of-home parcel delivery, has become an official partner of the Tour de France for the next three years.
According to Tour de France organiser, A.S.O., the partnership with Mondial Relay will enable Le Tour to be promoted throughout the month of July at 12,000 Point Relais (pick-up points) and 4,000 automatic withdrawal lockers located in in towns and villages throughout France.
Since July 2021, Mondial Relay has been a brand of the InPost Group, a European leader in e-commerce delivery.
By associating itself with the Tour de France, Mondial Relay aims to highlight its local presence and the close ties the company creates in the thousands of towns and villages with a Point Relais or a Locker.
As an Official Partner, Mondial Relay will carry the official race departure flag each day – presenting it before each stage to Christian Prudhomme, director of the Tour de France, and to the representatives of the stage towns.
Christian Prudhomme, Director of the Tour de France, said “Mondial Relay is a local brand with a network deeply rooted in the regions and whose ambition is to offer a smile around every corner. This local presence and desire to be as close as possible to the French people are values the Tour de France fully identifies, making it a natural partner.”
Julien Goupil, Director of Media and Partnerships at A.S.O., said “The fact that the Tour de France is of interest to a major European group like InPost shows the strength and international influence of the event.”
Quentin Benault, CEO at Mondial Relay added “We are extremely proud to be associated with the Tour de France as an Official Partner.
“Every day, we strive to unite the public around our Lockers and Points Relais whilst promoting our regions. Soft mobility, proximity, and the pleasure of sharing are shared values with the Tour de France. And now we’re delighted to become the standard-bearer for these excellent values.”
