The Würth Group will become a partner of Red Bull KTM Factory Racing from the 2026 season and expands its commitment to MotoGP.

Following Würth’s entry as the tool supplier to MotoGP, this marks the next strategic step: a close partnership with a factory team. Würth’s comprehensive product portfolio ensures the right solution for every challenge in the fast‑paced world of racing. Würth tools stand for precision, durability, and reliability—even under extreme time pressure and in the most demanding conditions. This particularly supports the mechanics of Red Bull KTM Factory Racing in their day‑to‑day tasks.
 
The partnership includes logo placements on the motorcycles, in the team box, and on team apparel as well as comprehensive communication and marketing rights within the global MotoGP environment.
 
Fritz Hollweck, Head of Sports Sponsorship at Würth: “Peak performance doesn’t happen by accident. It’s the result of people, processes, and tools working together seamlessly. That’s exactly the philosophy we share with Red Bull KTM Factory Racing. Our goal is not just to equip the team, but to be a true success factor in their racing operations.”
 
Pit Beirer, KTM Motorsports Director: “Partnering with Würth is a logical step for us. Würth stands for quality, reliability, and professionalism: values that are absolutely essential in racing. Our mechanics carry immense responsibility and rely on their tools every single day. Würth stands as a strong partner at our side who supports our performance down to the smallest detail.”
