Macron enters the world of New Zealand netball. The Italian brand, a global leader in teamwear, is the new technical partner of Splice Construction Magic, a netball team that competes in the ANZ Premiership. The Hero Company and Splice Construction Magic have signed a multi-year agreement for the supply of match kits, technical apparel and a line of merchandising dedicated to fans.

Netball is a sport similar to basketball. It is played with seven players and is mainly practiced at the women's level. In New Zealand, Australia and generally in Commonwealth countries, it is the female team sport with the largest number of practitioners and spectators. Splice Construction Magic was founded in 1999 and has a record of winning an ANZ Championship in 2012 and two National Bank Cup titles.
