Werner Celebrates 16 Years of NCAA March Madness Champions Climbing Its Ladders
Werner welcomes the 2024 season of NCAA men’s and women’s championship games, with the Werner commemorative ladder exclusively used during the NCAA net-cutting ceremony
Werner is honored to again be part of the incredible and emotional net-cutting celebrations that happen each year in both the NCAA men’s and women’s regional and national championships. As part of the yearly celebration, Werner creates exclusive Podium Ladders to safely climb during the net-cutting ceremony. The Werner ladders are designed uniquely for March Madness and have wider rungs, a larger platform and higher guardrails to specifically address this unique situation, including weights, heights and shoe sizes of basketball players and coaches. To watch the talented athletes and coaches celebrate their hard-earned place in history provides great pride for Werner.
“Every year, we look forward to March and being a proud sponsor of the NCAA basketball championship games,” said Stacy Gardella, head of global marketing technology and operations at WernerCo. “Our work starts months before as we design the custom ladders right here in Itasca, Illinois. When the ladders leave our factory and March Madness begins, the energy and excitement heightens for our employees working on the factory lines to the front offices, and everywhere in between.”
