Acenta Group has taken a major step in its international expansion by signing a three-year partnership agreement with German financing company Hoenen Leasing GmbH. The agreement marks the Company’s entry into the DACH market (Germany, Austria, and Switzerland) – a region with strong growth potential for padel.
Leasing Opens New Opportunities for Padel
Under the partnership, Acenta Group will supply, deliver, and install padel courts, while Hoenen Leasing will provide tailored leasing and financing solutions. This means that customers in the DACH region can not only purchase padel courts but also lease them – a model that makes the sport more accessible for schools, sports clubs, hotels, and property developers.
As part of the agreement, Acenta Group will receive a fixed fee per sale, plus an additional month’s leasing fee for each court built and sold. Together, the partners will also jointly market their standardized offering, including the launch of a dedicated landing page.
Significant Potential in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland
The DACH region is considered one of Europe’s most promising markets for padel. Despite having five times the population of the Netherlands, Germany currently has only a fraction of the padel courts, with projections reaching around 600 courts by the end of 2025. Growth is supported by a rapidly expanding player base, increased awareness, and strong support from associations, municipalities, and real estate developers.
Stefan Hoenen, Managing Director of Hoenen Leasing GmbH, commented:
«We see significant potential for both parties and I am convinced that, together, we can successfully drive the market entry and further expansion of padel in the DACH region. I look forward to taking the next steps and realizing the first projects.»
Strategic Milestone for Acenta Group
For Acenta Group, the agreement represents an important milestone in its international strategy. It opens the door to one of Europe’s largest markets while offering an attractive financing model for customers.
Håkan Tollefsen, CEO of Acenta Group AB, said:
«We are very pleased to announce this new partnership with Hoenen Leasing, which represents an important step in our international expansion strategy. Entering the DACH market together with a strong financing partner will allow us to offer a more complete solution to customers and accelerate the development of padel in the region. For Acenta Group, this agreement adds a new growth opportunity alongside our existing international partnerships.»
