It’s been great to see our partnerships continue to grow while supporting them throughout their seasons, competitions and training” says Raimo Ala-Korpi, Managing Director of Avant Tecno UK.

As a long-standing sponsor of Red Bull KTM Ajo, Avant Tecno had an exciting few days at the Qatar Airways British Grand Prix at Silverstone in July.
