In 2025, MET Romania will once again step onto the clay court of Iași as the main sponsor of the Concord Iași Open powered by MET tournament, an ATP Challenger 100 level competition. With this step, MET reaffirms its support for Romanian sport and, in particular, for tennis through its partnership with one of the most important men's tennis tournaments organised in the country.
MET Romania, part of a Swiss-based energy group, is one of the main players in the Romanian energy market, with operations in the natural gas and electricity markets. Since 2022, MET has had a partnership with the ATP Challenger tournament in Iași, as one of the company's major social responsibility objectives is to support sport and promising athletes.
A story that starts with reliable service and ends on the tennis court
MET Romania's Swiss DNA has translated into transparency, trust and certainty in the local market. Operating in a field characterised by volatility, especially in recent years, MET has offered Romanian companies firm and transparent contracts, which it has respected rigorously, regardless of the national or international context. The local team made up of specialists with experience in their fields of activity and the fact that MET Romania is part of a multinational group with headquarters in Switzerland are essential elements that have contributed to strengthening the company's position over the last 16 years.
“Tennis reflects many of the skills that define our business model, and here I am referring to the quick reactions to market developments, the important decisions to be taken at key moments or the courage to set ambitious goals. The partnership with Iași Open came naturally and developed in the same way. I am proud that MET is the main partner of this event that offers real opportunities to Romanian players and makes Iași an important centre of interest for this sport in Romania,” explained Florin Frunză, CEO of MET Romania.
The energy that inspires the next generation
The Concord Iași Open powered by MET has become, over time, an important platform for young Romanian men's tennis players – such as Bogdan Pavel, Cezar Crețu, Gabi Boitan and Filip Jianu – who have received wildcards at key moments in their careers.
In Iași, Romanian players have the opportunity to play at home, in an international level tournament, in front of their own public, an environment that encourages growth and confidence. By supporting this competition, MET contributes to the creation of a real context in which future generations of athletes can take important steps towards achieving greater performance. The stability of the contracts and the offers made available to MET's clients bring added stability to the sports environment. Find out more on ro.met.com.
