Nanque

Nanque was established in 1969 to produce sportswear for the most popular sports in Argentina, in a time the most international manufacturers were not doing business in the country so Nanque signed deals with some professional football teams, sharing sponsorships with other local brands such as Uribarri, Sportlandia and Olimpia. Nanque took a step as a manufacturer in the 1980s, where the company provide football uniforms for many teams of lower divisions (most of them in Primera B Metropolitana). Apart from football, Nanque also sponsored some notable boxers of Argentina, including world champions Juan Martín Coggi and Jorge Locomotora Castro. In the 1990s, the company reached its peak when sponsoring some teams in Argentine Primera División, even starting operations outside Argentina to sponsor clubs in Uruguay, Colombia, Ecuador and El Salvador. Nevertheless, financial problems led the company to go into bankruptcy, moving its head office to Uruguay. Nevertheless, in 2012 the company closed and its factory on Hipólito Yrigoyen avenue in Banfield was expropriated by government agency ANSES which opened an administration unit there. The brand was relaunched in the 2020s through an online shopping where former Nanque football products are offered. == Sponsorships ==
