Skylux becomes main sponsor of the cyclocross team of Jurgen Mettepenningen

From 1 January 2027, Skylux will become the main sponsor of the cyclocross team of Jurgen Mettepenningen. The team will continue under the name Skylux – Altez Industriebouw. With this partnership, we are taking the next step in the growth and visibility of our brand.

Cyclocross and daylight. At first glance, perhaps two different worlds.

But the link is stronger than you might think.

Cyclocross comes alive during the darkest months of the year. Exactly when natural daylight makes more of a difference than ever.

Cyclocross is the sport of the darkest months. Skylux brings daylight inside.

From 1 January 2027, that message will also be visible along the course, on television, in the media and online.

From cyclocross team to Skylux – Altez Industriebouw

The cyclocross team of team manager Jurgen Mettepenningen has been one of the established names in Belgian cyclocross for years.

From 1 January 2027, the team will have a new name:

Skylux – Altez Industriebouw.

As main sponsor, we are linking our name directly to the team. An important step that will bring Skylux even closer to a wide audience.

Who rides for Skylux – Altez Industriebouw?

The team combines experience, international talent and young riders with ambition.

With Michael Vanthourenhout, two-time European champion, and Gerben Kuypers, among others, the men's team includes well-known names from Belgian cyclocross.

Women's cyclocross also has an important place within the team. With French rider Amandine Fouquenet, the team also has a strong international face towards France.

In addition, the team continues to invest in young talent and the future of cyclocross.

Why are we choosing cyclocross?

That choice is deliberate.

Every winter, cyclocross reaches a large audience in Belgium and the Netherlands. Two important markets for Skylux.

Thousands of supporters experience the races along the course. Many more follow the sport on television, through news media and online.

For us, that is a natural way to bring Skylux closer to people.

Not through one short campaign, but week after week and season after season.

Introducing more people to Skylux

As a Belgian family business, we develop and produce solutions that bring in more natural daylight.

From skylights and flat roof windows, veranda solutions and smoke and heat exhaust systems.

Professionals have known Skylux for years as a partner for solutions on and around the roof.

With this partnership, we also want to further strengthen our name with a wider audience.

So that more and more people recognise Skylux when they are building, renovating or looking for ways to bring more natural daylight into their home or building.

A stronger brand for our partners

For us, the partnership with the cyclocross team goes beyond sport alone.

We are investing in brand awareness. In recognition. And in trust in the Skylux name.

That also supports the dealers, roofers and installers who work with our solutions every day.

The more often a customer already knows Skylux, the stronger the brand with which our professional partners advise, sell and install.

For private customers, the partnership also offers an opportunity to discover who we are, what we make and why natural daylight can make such an important difference in a home.

West Flanders roots. International ambition.

The partnership also feels particularly natural in another way.

Skylux grew from West Flanders into an international family business.

The team of Jurgen Mettepenningen also has strong Flemish and West Flanders roots.

We combine that local anchoring with the same ambition: to keep growing and to be visible beyond our national borders as well.

Belgian roots. International ambition.

More than a logo on a cycling jersey

For us, this partnership does not stop at visibility on a cycling jersey or along the course.

We also want to experience cyclocross together.

That is why our employees, customers, dealers, roofers, installers, suppliers and other partners will have various opportunities during the season to get closer to the team and the races.

Think of race visits, tickets and other activations around Skylux – Altez Industriebouw.
