CARLISLE United have announced that Komatsu Forest will be their first-team sleeve sponsor for the 2024/25 season.

The company, which has its headquarters at Carlisle Airport, will join fellow local businesses Aqua Pura and Story Homes on the club's shirts for the latest campaign.

Kelly Jardine, Carlisle United's commercial assistant speaking on the club's website, said: "Komatsu were involved with the club last season through various different match sponsorships and are also in partnership with Carlisle United Community Sports Trust through the Komatsu Climate Heroes program currently being run in local primary schools, so we are delighted they have chosen to increase their support and become our new sleeve sponsor.

Komastu Forest Ltd managing director Stephen Bellas added: "We at Komatsu Forest Ltd are thrilled that we will be the new sleeve sponsor for Carlisle United for the upcoming season.

"Although we are part of a global brand with a presence across the UK, Komatsu Forest Ltd is headquartered in Carlisle and has strong ties to the local community.

"Many members of the Komatsu team and their families are loyal Blues fans and regulars at Brunton Park.

"We wish Carlisle United the best of luck for a successful season both on and off the pitch."
