Luanvi President Vicente Tarancón and CPE President Miguel Carballeda signed the agreement, which will help provide kit and equipment for the athletes. 

The Valencian company is already working on clothing designs, due to be presented publicly in May.

CPE signed the agreement with Luanvi in collaboration with Trinidad Alfonso Foundation - a non-profit foundation whose objective is to promote the culture of endeavor in the Valencian community - to strengthen the city's link with Paralympic sport.
