Aberdeen Football Club today (Tuesday 14 February 2006) announced a new club sponsorship agreement with Apex Tubulars that will see the logo of the Aberdeen based oil service company adorning the Dons shirts from the start of the 2006/07 season.

The two year deal sees Apex Tubulars becoming the eighth company to appear on the Club's playing shirt replacing current sponsor ADT.

Commenting on the deal Aberdeen Football Club's Duncan Fraser, Executive Director, Head of Operations said:

"The Club is delighted to secure a two year partnership with Apex Tubulars which will see them become the Club's new sponsor. Apex Tubulars is a leading local business and has been longstanding supporters of the Club. The company has ambitious plans for developing its business and sees the partnership with Aberdeen FC as being a key way to achieving its objectives. Everyone at the Club is very excited about the prospect of working with Apex Tubulars in what is sure to be a very exciting period in the history of both organisations.

"I would like to take this opportunity to thank our current sponsor ADT for their fantastic support over the last two seasons which I'm sure will continue once their sponsorship deal with the Club concludes."

Apex Tubulars is a leading supplier of down hole casing and tubing to the oil and gas sector and are headquartered in Aberdeen. The company has recently undergone a major rebrand and corporate identity restructure and views the sponsorship of Aberdeen Football Club as a major platform with which to aid in the achievement of its exciting business development plans.

Jim Geddie, Managing Director of Apex Tubulars said:

"As a lifelong Aberdeen fan this is a dream come true for me to see my company name alongside that of Aberdeen Football Club. Apex Tubulars has grown considerably and we are now at the stage that it makes perfect business sense, as well as emotional sense for me, for us to become the official sponsor of the Club. We are certain this will be a rewarding relationship for all concerned in the seasons ahead."

Apex Tubulars was founded in 1984 by Donald Milne. The company changed hands in 2000 when it was bought out by its management team, led by Managing Director Jim Geddie. Since then the company has grown considerably. Turnover has increased by 221% since 2002, resulting in an annual turnover of £18million in 2005, this with a workforce of 50 staff at its Head Quarters in Portlethen, where it has a 15 acre pipe storage and inspection facility.

The company operates in five key sectors:
