Overcoming current challenges and creating prospects for the future together: Stölting Service Group GmbH is now supporting FC Schalke 04 as a member of the Auf Schalke eG cooperative. As one of over 6,400 registered members – also known as „GEnossen“ – Stölting is contributing to the club's financial independence. „The Stölting Service Group has not only been a sponsor of FC Schalke 04 for many years, but also a long-standing and trusted partner of the club. For us, one thing is certain: Gelsenkirchen stalwarts Stölting and FC Schalke 04 stick together,“ explains Stölting CEO Sebastian Mosbacher.
Stölting and FC Schalke 04 share a long history: for many years, the Gelsenkirchen-based company has been a premium partner and reliable service provider to FC Schalke 04, responsible for security, cleaning and catering support at the VELTINS Arena. With senior partner Hans Mosbacher, Stölting is also represented in the Business Kreisel auf Schalke, FC Schalke 04„s exclusive corporate network. “At Stölting, we know that lasting success is only possible if you have strong partners at your side – whether in business or in football," says Hans Mosbacher, who appeared as the face of the campaign for the Auf Schalke eG cooperative at the general meeting in November 2024.
Democratic, united, royal blue
The aim of the support cooperative is to secure the club's financial independence for the future – and thus create an opportunity for fans and businesses: all of the club's more than 190,400 members, as well as businesses and other clubs, can join the support cooperative and purchase shares. „Democratic co-determination and solidarity are just as firmly anchored in the support cooperative as they are in the club itself. These are principles with which Stölting also identifies and which we want to exemplify with our commitment to the ‚royal blue cooperative‘,“ says Sebastian Mosbacher.
New monument for benefactors
In recognition of its commitment, Stölting will not only receive a certificate and a pin identifying it as a „GEnosse“ (comrade): the company's name will be immortalised alongside other sponsors on a planned winding tower monument at the foot of the VELTINS Arena. Sebastian Mosbacher: „We are proud to be part of such a large community and to be able to make a difference.“
