Teamwork Makes Dreamwork
Together with our partners and sponsors, we are making the StaplerCup a top-class event.

Continental – Our Loyal Partner for Many Years
The tire manufacturing company, which stands for professional and safe driving, is the main sponsor for the StaplerCup, one of the most exciting B2B sports events around. The partnership goes back to the very beginnings of the StaplerCup – and all the forklift trucks in the competition have been equipped with Continental tires ever since.
For the 2021 championships, Continental CS20 tires were used. These were specially developed for forklift trucks and had proven themselves previously at the StaplerCup in 2019. With CS20 tires, sporting performance and optimum safety are guaranteed. Plus they boast outstanding traction, notable quietness, and a high degree of comfort.
Continental and the StaplerCup are a dream team when it comes to safety and expertise. Both have always been committed to driving safety. And over the years, their collaboration has grown stronger and stronger, giving rise to new and fun ideas that provide a platform for a group who are usually overlooked: our ForkliftHeroes.

A Forklift Truck Driving Alliance
That’s how you’d describe the partnership between Continental and the StaplerCup. The two organizations have grown closer with every StaplerCup, and have been working together successfully since the very first championship.

About the StaplerCup
The StaplerCup was first held as an all-German championship in 2005. Since then, almost 25,000 competitors have registered for the event, which puts precision, speed, and safety center stage. In 2007, the event was expanded to include an international team championship, and since 2008 it has also featured a company team championship. The first world title was awarded to German competitor Stefan Theissen in 2014. Since 2015, twelve female forklift drivers have also competed each year in a separate competition to become the best woman behind a forklift wheel. The priority for event organizer Linde Material Handling and its network partners, who stage the regional championships, is to improve safety in warehouses and logistics operations. The idea is to develop drivers’ skills and concentration in order to prevent accidents in the workplace. They also hope to raise public awareness of the challenges faced by the participants in their everyday work.
The StaplerCup’s reach extends well beyond the world of logistics. It has received numerous awards from the business and communications sectors. These include the Gold PR Award, the International German PR Prize and the international title of “Best European Sport Event” from EuBEA. The StaplerCup was also awarded Gold at the renowned American GALAXY Awards and crowned “Best of Show.”
