Like the men's team of the same name, the team is operated by the Dutch company SMS Cycling BV .
The team's name sponsor until the end of the 2012 season was the tool manufacturer Skil , which stopped sponsoring the men's team at the end of the 2011 season. The team's second name sponsor, the bike manufacturer Koga , was replaced by the oil and gas company Argos, which also financed the men's team, as announced on March 30, 2012.
Until then, the women's team was called Skil 1t4i . 1t4i stands for the basic values to which the two teams are committed according to the operator: "Team Spirit, Inspiration, Integrity, Improvement, Innovation" (English, German, team spirit , inspiration , integrity , improvement, innovation ). After the announcement of the new main sponsor, the team was initially called Skil-Argos . In 2013 the team was called Argos-Shimano like the men's team and was presented to the public together with them in January.
At the beginning of the 2015 season, the Bielefeld cosmetics producer Dr. Wolff Group, the bicycle component manufacturer Shimano as the second main sponsor. The team was renamed Liv-Plantur after the women-specific brands of the main sponsors . In contrast to the men's team, the women's team kept their Dutch license.
After Alpecin withdrew , the tour operator Sunweb became the sole name sponsor in 2017. At the end of the season the team, as well as the men's team of Team Sunweb, was world champion in the team time trial . Sunweb finished the season in second place in the UCI world rankings .
In the UCI Women's WorldTour 2018 , the team finished third and in 2019 second. For the 2010 season, Sunweb was registered as a German team with a license as a UCI Women's WorldTeam .
