Acenta Group has officially signaled its next phase of international expansion by entering into a strategic five-year global partner distribution agreement with the world-renowned court manufacturer, Padel Galis.
The partnership combines Acenta’s commercial reach and financing expertise with Padel Galis’ nearly two decades of manufacturing excellence. Under the new terms, Acenta will act as a key global distribution partner, offering the full Padel Galis product portfolio alongside specialized installation and financial solutions.
A Scalable Ecosystem
Unlike traditional distribution models, this agreement is built on a flexible, scalable commercial structure without fixed purchase commitments. Acenta will not only support international sales but also work directly with local distributors in key markets, providing a «boots-on-the-ground» expertise that includes technical training and financing options.
Furthermore, the deal opens new doors for Acenta’s proprietary brands, such as Sport of Padel and Peliga, which will gain visibility through Padel Galis’ extensive global network—a footprint that already spans over 10,000 courts in 85 countries.
