The world leader in stone wool products has been title partner and operator of the Denmark SailGP Team since 2019, and this renewal marks a significant new chapter in what is now the global racing championship’s longest-running team partnership.

Since joining the league ahead of Season 2, ROCKWOOL has backed a project focused on developing the next generation of world-class Danish foiling talent, while showcasing innovation, sustainability and performance on the global stage.

Andrew Thompson, Managing Director, SailGP said: “ROCKWOOL’s belief in our vision has helped shape SailGP’s evolution into a truly global, high performance championship. Their renewed commitment through 2032 speaks to the strength of what we’ve created together - a world class team, an ambitious activation program and a partnership that drives meaningful value on and off the water. We’re proud to continue building this next chapter with ROCKWOOL.”

Last season, the ROCKWOOL Racing SailGP Team finished just one point outside the season podium places, and in August 2025 became the fastest team in sail racing history - hitting 103.93 km/h during the Germany Sail Grand Prix in Sassnitz.

Beyond the racecourse, ROCKWOOL has built one of the sport’s most ambitious activation platforms. More than 4,000 guests have experienced the exciting racing on water through its global hospitality program; the Danish team claimed the SailGP Impact League title in Season 3; and since 2021, the company has delivered five ROCKWOOL Sail Grand Prix title events across Denmark, Italy, Canada and France — establishing itself as a key driver of the league’s international growth.

Mirella Vitale, Senior Vice President, Marketing, Communications and Public Affairs, ROCKWOOL said: “Over the past four seasons, this partnership has grown into something genuinely powerful. Together with SailGP, we’ve created a global platform that delivers real commercial impact in our key markets - driving awareness of our business, enabling thousands of ROCKWOOL guests to experience racing first-hand, and engaging employees across 38 countries.”

“Extending this partnership was the natural next step, and we’re excited about what we can achieve together in the years ahead.”

In the 2026 Season, ROCKWOOL will stage its sixth SailGP title partner event - the ROCKWOOL Germany Sail Grand Prix on 22–23 August 2026.
