MILWAUKEE/DORTMUND, Germany – The Milwaukee Bucks have partnered with the German-based Wilo Group, making the multinational technology company the first Global Sustainability Partner of the Bucks and Fiserv Forum.
The partnership was announced at a press conference at Fiserv Forum today by Bucks and Fiserv Forum President Peter Feigin, Wilo Americas CEO Jeff Plaster, Wilo Americas Chief Sales Officer Svenja Ahlburg, and Wisconsin Governor Tony Evers.
“In line with our overarching, Group-wide sustainability strategy ‘Creating, Caring, Connecting’, it goes without saying that Wilo’s sports sponsorships also have to be sustainable,” said Oliver Hermes, Wilo President & CEO. “We are committing ourselves to creating sustainable technologies and solutions, assuming social responsibility, and investing in strong partnerships worldwide. This is also with the aim of prioritizing a significant expansion of our extremely successful business activities in North and Latin America.”
Through their partnership, the Bucks and Wilo will work jointly on sustainability projects and initiatives. Wilo will also provide the first-ever patch for the warm-up kits, including warm-up jackets and shooting shirts, worn by the Bucks throughout the multi-year deal.

Wilo, which opened a regional headquarters in Cedarburg, Wisconsin in 2022 and has been active in the North American market for more than 20 years, will also be featured on courtside signage at Fiserv Forum. The Bucks and Wilo will also collaborate to host river clean-ups throughout Wisconsin.
