As part of its determined commitment to promoting a healthy lifestyle, Grupo Pistacyl, the main pistachio producer in Castile and Leon, has redoubled its commitment to sport by supporting different teams and competitions in various sports.
One of the main actions of Grupo Pistacyl in this area is the support for the practice of handball, and especially among the youngest, a commitment that was formalized in the 2022-2023 season with the sponsorship of the Recoletas Atlético Valladolid Pistacyl cadet team, and which, given the good results obtained, continued in the 2023-2024 season as a sponsor of the youth team.
This team was also proclaimed winner of the 1st Triangular Handball Youth Championship that Grupo Pistacyl promoted last May in its hometown, Pozal de Gallinas, of which it is also a sponsor of its youth futsal team.
The positive experience with the Atlético Valladolid Pistacyl handball team motivated this family business to decide to continue supporting this sport during the festive period.
Thus, since the summer of 2023, it has been the main sponsor of the Desacato AC KALO beach handball team in its different categories, which has also had an outstanding participation in the tournaments in which it has taken part, such as the ‘Arena Handball Ciudad de Valladolid’, which it won on July 14.
Grupo Pistacyl’s commitment to youth sport had already been previously reflected with its support for the Zaratán Cup Tournament, a national 7-a-side football competition that brought together more than 200 athletes from 30 clubs from all over the country in this town in Valladolid in December 2022.
Likewise, the company is also one of the sponsors of CampKids, the campus for young people between 7 and 14 years old that is taking place this summer in Valladolid led by the footballer Víctor Mongil.
Not only young athletes receive support from Grupo Pistacyl. Last January, the company collaborated with the VI Handball Meeting for Veterans organized by Recoletas Atlético Valladolid in the Huerta del Rey sports center in the capital of Valladolid.
It also participated in the organization of the VII La Gaceta de Salamanca Golf Tournament that was held on the La Valmuza course in May and was also one of the collaborators of the XL Popular Trot that the Trotapinares Club organized in June in the Pinar de Antequera in Valladolid. Furthermore, through its support for sport, Grupo Pistacy also collaborates with different charitable causes such as the 24-hour Solidarity Challenge organised every December by the Comercial Ulsa company in Valladolid or the 2nd Charity Paddle Tournament held in April at Medina Padel Indoor School, in Medina del Campo (Valladolid), in favour of the Association of People with Epilepsy of Castile and Leon.
