BEUMER Group to become FC Schalke 04’s new main partner

BEUMER Group will become FC Schalke 04’s new main partner from the 2026/27 season. The deal brings together two partners whose roots and ambitions make them a perfect fit. The global family-owned company from Beckum has signed a deal running until at least 2029, regardless of which professional league Schalke are in. This means the Royal Blues have already secured partners for all of the club’s key shirt assets well before the start of the new season.
