History
editMacron was founded in 1971 as a distributor of American sportswear brands in Italy.[1] A major expansion of the organisation took place in 1994, coincident with relocation and consolidation to Crespellano.[1]
Macron began providing teamwear to professional football in 2001, its first contract being with Bologna.[1] Expansion beyond the domestic Italian market began in 2005.[1]
In 2014, Macron secured a four-year agreement with Bolton Wanderers for naming rights to their home stadium, with the stadium becoming known as the Macron Stadium from July 2014.[2] Macron supplanted Reebok as both stadium sponsor and kit supplier.[2]
Corporate governance
editAs of 2014[update], Macron's chief executive officer (CEO) was Gianluca Pavanello.[3] and the company's president was Francesco Bromioli.[4]

Macron sponsors or makes a variety of organisations, teams and, events. In many cases, the wording of published accounts does not make a clear demarcation between a case where a team has purchased kit (aka uniforms or strip) versus those whose kit has been provided as a matter of sponsorship. The following is a partial list of these sponsorship/customer relationships.[citation needed]
