In conjunction with five established Aberdeen-based partners, the inception of ALTIS Aberdeen heralds a significant step for the US-based company, as it expands its provision into Europe. With sites already in the USA, Canada and China – the latest UK based partnership serves to underpin the huge growth ALTIS has achieved over the past three years.

Chief executive of Aberdeen Sports Village, Duncan Sinclair, said: “Aberdeen Sports Village is delighted with the announcement of the ALTIS Aberdeen partnership. ALTIS has an international standing in the athletics community and our city should be very proud that we have secured this endorsement. Being associated with an international athletics brand that has a reputation for delivering success is a huge boost for ASV, as well as our athletics partners, Hydrasun.
ALTIS Aberdeen will be facilitated through strategic partnerships with Aberdeen Sports Village, The University of Aberdeen, Robert Gordon’s University, SPEAR Physiotherapy, and Aberdeen Amateur Athletic Club.
President of Aberdeen Amateur Athletic Club, Mark Davidson, commented: “The partnership with ALTIS heralds a new and exciting future for athletics in Aberdeen. The opportunity for the club to work with the world renowned team from ALTIS will be the catalyst to help us all move to the next level.
