On January 8th, 2004, Scuderia Ferrari and Beta Utensili announced that they had established a technical and commercial agreement. According to the terms of the agreement, Beta will supply the Formula 1 with the team's hand tool needs and, at the same time, the two organizations will co-develop new line of products bearing the famous Scuderia Ferrari insignia. The new partnership revives a relationship with a long and glorious history that traces back to 1975. Just as they do today, Beta management viewed this partnership as both an acknowledgement of the quality of the tools and as a vehicle for the development of technologically superior products. The collaboration was approached with the utmost devotion which was shown through the achievements of such outstanding drivers as Niki Lauda, Clay Regazzoni, Carlos Reutemann, Jody Scheckter, Gilles Villeneuve and Didier Pironi; all who thrilled the crowds and scored victories in the cars from Maranello. Scuderia Ferrari wrapped up four Constructors' Titles (1975, 1976, 1977 and 1979), during the sponsorship, as well as three Drivers' Titles, specifically in 1975 and 1977 with Niki Lauda and in 1979 with Jody Scheckter. The partnership came to an end in the early 1980's. Returning as Official Supplier to such a prominent team is a task that needs to be undertaken with enthusiasm, passion and steadfast reliability. The technicians at Ferrari are discriminating professionals who constantly aim for matchless performance and therefore require state of the art tools. Beta manufactures exceptional products which are the result of over eighty years of industrial commitment combined with thirty years of involvement in racing. The company's products are preferred by international motor sports organizations, such as Scuderia Ferrari, because they're perfectly suited for the high pressure demands placed on motor sports engineers. |
