Stanley Electric Signs Official Partnership with J.League Club Jubilo Iwata

Stanley Electric Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Meguro-ku, Tokyo; President and CEO: Yasuaki Kaizumi) has concluded an Official Partnership Agreement (top-tier partner category) with J.League club Jubilo Iwata (operated by Jubilo Corporation, headquarters: Iwata City, Shizuoka Prefecture; President: Takehisa Otomo).

Background and Vision

The company provides automotive lighting, LEDs, and other light sources globally, and has long conducted regionally integrated business activities in Hamamatsu City, Shizuoka Prefecture—one of its key production bases. This partnership was established through deep resonance with Jubilo Iwata’s philosophy and long-standing commitment to delivering dreams and inspiration to the local community, which also calls western Shizuoka its hometown.

The vermilion-orange color of our logo symbolizes the desire to "deliver joy to people through light, like the sun." This aligns with the meaning of "Jubilo"—"joy"—and we aim to contribute new value to fans, supporters, and the broader community.

Key Partnership Terms

① Official Partner / Uniform Partner Starting with the 2026/27 Meiji Yasuda J2 League season, which kicks off in August 2026, the company’s logo will be displayed on the front-left side of player shorts, as well as on stadium signage and team buses.

Model: MF Takumu Kado

② Ball Stand Partner At all regular-season home games hosted by Jubilo Iwata, ball stands featuring Stanley Electric’s lighting technology will enhance the players’ entrance onto the pitch. Committed to the "limitless pursuit of light's value," the company will create new pre-match entertainment experiences.

③ Title Partner for Club’s First-Ever Pre-Season Event On July 1 (Wednesday), Stanley Electric will serve as the title partner for "KICK OFF MEETING 2026/27," a pre-season event newly launched by the club.
