Illawarra Hawks Partner with DECO Australia for NBL26 Season

The Illawarra Hawks have announced DECO Australia as an official partner for the 2025/26 NBL season.

DECO Australia, a local manufacturer specialising in premium aluminium building products, has strong roots in the Illawarra region.

Commenting on the partnership, Hawks general manager of commercial, Aaron Anderson, said the alignment between the two organisations goes beyond brand placement.

“We love partnering with passionate companies that share our values, and DECO certainly ticks that box.”

“Their commitment to quality, innovation, and community perfectly aligns with who we are as a club. We’re excited to work together to build this partnership for this season and beyond,” Anderson said. 

The partnership was officially launched at the Hawks’ recent home game, where DECO’s architectural business manager, Simon Pearson, joined the club courtside.

Pearson said the collaboration highlights DECO’s investment in celebrating and supporting the region that shaped the business.

“As a family-owned business with roots in the Illawarra, this partnership reflects our ongoing commitment to supporting local communities and celebrating excellence, both on and off the court.”

“The Hawks embody the same values that drive DECO every day—resilience, commitment, and community spirit,” Pearson said. 

Throughout NBL26, DECO and the Hawks will work together on community-focused initiatives and fan engagement activities, alongside showcasing DECO’s Australian-made cladding, battens, and decking products.

The Hawks acknowledged DECO’s contribution and expressed enthusiasm for the season ahead as both organisations prepare to engage the Illawarra community on and off the court.
