Padel Galis, manufacturer of the official Wilson Elite court

The new court was launched to market last November with the name Wilson Elite, and resulted from a strategic deal signed in 2022 between Padel Galis and Wilson Sporting Goods prior to the Valencian company’s entry to the U.S. market.   

Wilson Sporting Goods and Padel Galis signed an agreement in October 2022 to build, market and install the Wilson Elite court worldwide, with a particular focus on the United States.

The deal gives Padel Galis, world leader in the design, construction and installation of padel courts, exclusive commercial rights over the Wilson Elite court. Launched to market last November, the court was designed in collaboration with Wilson.

“Padel tennis is a priority for Wilson as we seek to expand our global reach,” explained Ignacio Cabrera, Global Business Director for Wilson Padel. “We are delighted to join forces with Padel Galis to make padel accessible to all players and sports fans.”

Padel Galis had already presented Wilson as a strategic partner in December 2021, fundamental to the development of its plans for growth. “This agreement, along with Wilson’s established influence, will enable us to consolidate our position as world leader in the manufacture and installation of padel tennis courts, and move forward in our aim of promoting this racket sport as a socially transformative force for good,” affirmed Fran Galisteo, CEO of Padel Galis. “Wilson shares Padel Galis’s objective to grow padel as a global sport.”
