"It is a pleasure that such a successful company operating in Lithuania and Europe has joined the family of our sponsors. We value every sponsor that joins the club as much as we value every supporter coming to Zalgiris' arena. When many companies will join forces it will be much easier for us to compete. Cooperation with such known brand as Vici is an important step forward for us. We hope that it will prompt other Lithuanian companies to rally around Zalgiris," said Paulius Motiejunas, General Manager of Zalgiris basketball club.

Established soon after restoring independence, the Lithuanian capital company group is one of the biggest and economically strongest companies in Europe engaged in production of crab stick and other products from surimi and fish. The group sells its products under Vici brand in more than 40 countries worldwide.

"We wish good luck for the players not only in the most important games but throughout the season. We want to help the club which has a long history. Zalgiris is the pride of all Lithuanians. Therefore, we are excited to have consolidated powers with the basketball team which has turned a new page in its history," said Visvaldas Matijosaitis, Chairman of the Board of Viciunai Group.
