LeDap Group acquires MejorSet – the leading Padel court manufacturer
LeDap Group (“LeDap”) today announces the acquisition of MejorSet, a globally leading manufacturer of Padel Courts, and the official court supplier of the International Padel Federation.
The core of LeDap is focused on operating Padel centres. With the acquisition of MejorSet, LeDap further broadens its operations within Padel to also include court manufacturing and thereby become an active player in driving development and innovation of courts, as well as ensuring there is sufficient supply to support the growth of the sport.
Pontus Gustafsson, CEO of LeDap: “This is an important and highly strategic acquisition. By welcoming MejorSet to the family, we secure supply of top-quality courts for our global expansion plans. It further enables close collaboration between our Padel centres where passionate players enjoy the courts every day, and the R&D department of MejorSet to enable and accelerate the development of the future courts where we envisage to over time include for instance more digital features and sensors.”
While MejorSet will become an integrated part of the LeDap Group, the Company will commercially remain independent and will continue to serve both internal and external customers. LeDap and its group companies will also maintain its trusted relationship with other court manufacturers to maintain a balanced supplier base catered to the local needs in each market.
Antonio Salles Doña, Founder and co-CEO of MejorSet: “We are very excited to partner up with LeDap and become part of their ambitious plans to grow and develop the sport. We love the sport of Padel and as part of the largest Padel group in the world, we will have the resources and support to take MejorSet to the next level.” Ariel Robado García, Founder and co-CEO of MejorSet, added: “We are passionate about innovation and developing the next generation of courts. We look forward to close collaboration with LeDap and all its group companies to make that happen.”
The Founders of MejorSet will remain invested in the company as minority shareholders and will continue to drive the operations day-to-day.
Hernan “Bebe” Auguste, Chief Padel Officer at LeDap Group: “I have spent half of my life on the Padel courts, and I am very pleased that MejorSet has chosen to partner up with LeDap. For nearly two decades, they are well known for their innovation capabilities and high-quality courts that cater to both the best tournaments in the world, as well as to ensuring a great experience for players at any level.”
As the official court supplier of the International Padel Federation, MejorSet’s panoramic courts are currently being used at the ongoing World Padel Championships in Doha, Qatar.
