Acenta is proud to announce the addition of Hans-Peter Brugger as our new Sales Executive for Germany, Austria, and Switzerland (the DACH region). This marks an important step in strengthening our presence in one of Europe’s most dynamic and fast-growing padel markets.

Hans-Peter joins Acenta with a long-standing connection to the sports community. His background spans multiple disciplines — including ice hockey, alpine skiing, tennis, and football — giving him a deep understanding of athlete needs and a natural ability to build strong relationships.

In his new role, Hans-Peter will support clubs, investors, and facility owners throughout the DACH region, helping them navigate court selection, infrastructure planning, and long-term expansion strategies. His passion for sport, combined with his broad network and commitment to quality, makes him a strong addition to the Acenta team.

With padel continuing to rise rapidly across Germany, Austria, and Switzerland, Acenta is committed to providing world-class expertise, scalable solutions, and hands-on support to both new and established venues. The addition of Hans-Peter ensures even stronger regional presence and local guidance for our partners.

We look forward to a successful journey together and to further expanding the padel community throughout the DACH region.

Acenta’s installation team is entering the final phase of yet another high-quality padel project — this time at Klæbu Padel og Golf, located just outside Trondheim. The build has progressed smoothly, and the courts are expected to be completed during the first week of December, right on schedule.

The project includes the full installation of Acenta’s premium padel court systems, delivered with the same precision, craftsmanship, and attention to detail that define our work across Europe. From structural assembly and turf preparation to finishing touches, our installation specialists have ensured an efficient process without compromising on quality.

The timing couldn’t be better. With the courts nearing completion in early December, players at Klæbu Padel og Golf will be able to enjoy Christmas padel and kick off the winter season with a brand-new facility tailored for both recreational and competitive play.

The project also reflects Acenta’s broader commitment to supporting the rapid growth of padel. By combining premium court engineering with an experienced installation team, Acenta continues to deliver scalable, long-lasting padel infrastructure to clubs and communities across the region.

We look forward to celebrating the official opening soon — and to seeing Klæbu’s players step onto their new courts for the very first time.

Acenta is excited to announce that Kim Jacobsen has joined the team as International Sales & Operations. Kim will play a key role in expanding Acenta’s presence in the international padel market.

«I’m thrilled to join Acenta and help expand our international presence. I look forward to connecting with partners around the world and bringing high-quality padel solutions to new markets,» says Kim Jacobsen.

In his new role, Kim will oversee international sales strategies, operations, and partnerships, ensuring that Acenta’s premium padel courts reach clubs and communities worldwide. His expertise will support the company’s mission of building not just courts, but the foundations of thriving padel communities.

Acenta’s team is looking forward to leveraging Kim’s insights and experience to continue delivering innovative, high-quality padel infrastructure across the globe.

Acenta Group AB has successfully completed the first deliveries under its exclusive partnership with Irish company Padel Sports 100 Limited, marking a key step in the rollout of padel courts across Ireland. The initial 12 courts have now been installed, initiating revenue generation under the agreement, which is valued at approximately EUR 3.6 million.

The next phase of the project will see 38 additional courts delivered between December 2025 and March 2026, completing the initial 50-court rollout. This milestone is part of a broader nationwide expansion plan by Padel 100, which ultimately aims to establish 100 courts in the current phase, with further growth planned beyond that.

The partnership between Acenta Group and Padel 100, first announced in May 2025, focuses on the leasing and installation of 50 courts over a five-year period. It operates independently from a separate resale agreement covering 120 courts for direct sale and distribution.

As the installations progress, the project is moving into a phase that will generate recurring revenues for Acenta Group, reinforcing its position as a long-term infrastructure partner in Europe’s rapidly growing padel market.

“The successful delivery of the first 12 courts marks an important milestone in our partnership with Padel 100 and demonstrates our ability to deliver large-scale padel infrastructure on time and to plan. With the next phase now underway, we are beginning to see the long-term revenue model materialise—confirming the strength of our strategy and our role as a key enabler of Ireland’s padel growth,” said Håkan Tollefsen, CEO of Acenta Group AB.

The completion of these first deliveries signals the transition into the next stage of the Irish rollout, cementing Acenta Group’s role in supporting Padel 100’s ambitious growth strategy.

Acenta Group AB announces that it will now use English as the primary language for all public disclosures. From now on, future press releases, financial reports, and other regulatory communications will be published exclusively in English.

The move reflects Acenta’s ongoing international focus and commitment to providing a consistent and accessible communication channel for its global investors, partners, and stakeholders. Until now, information was shared in both Swedish and English, but the company is streamlining its approach to strengthen its international presence.

Historical press releases and financial reports in Swedish will remain accessible on the company’s website for reference.

“This is a natural step in our development as we operate in an increasingly international environment,” the company states. The change is effective immediately.

Acenta Group AB has successfully completed a directed share issue totaling SEK 18.5 million, marking an important step in the company’s continued expansion and international growth. The new capital will support ongoing contracts, enable new padel court installations, and further develop the company’s digital platforms and brands.

CEO Håkan Tollefsen comments:

“Acenta Group is now entering its next growth phase with strong momentum. Over the past year, we’ve reached several important milestones and established a solid international platform. Through this financing, we strengthen our position as a leading player in padel infrastructure while ensuring delivery on our existing commitments. We are building for long-term and sustainable growth — and we’re just getting started.”

Acenta Group extends a warm thank you to Mangold Fondkommission, Advokatfirman Lindahl, Klara Stock Market Adviser, and to all investors for their support and confidence in the company’s vision.

Under the leadership of CEO Håkan Tollefsen, Acenta Group has strengthened its position as a key player in the global padel industry. Since the company’s public listing, Tollefsen has focused on identifying and capturing growth opportunities through international expansion, strategic acquisitions, and increased access to capital markets — all with the goal of creating long-term value for shareholders and partners.

“Padel is more than just a sport — it’s an ecosystem of infrastructure, retail, and community,” says Håkan Tollefsen. “Our mission is to build and connect these elements globally, helping the sport grow in a sustainable and professional way.”

Acenta’s strategy is rooted in this broader vision. The company works actively to develop the infrastructure, retail presence, and partnerships that support the growth of padel — creating value across the entire ecosystem.

Looking ahead, Acenta aims to expand its international footprint and deepen collaborations across the industry. With innovation, quality, and strong partnerships at its core, the company is set to play a leading role in shaping the future of padel.

“We see extraordinary potential in this market,” Tollefsen adds. “Our ambition is clear — to drive the global development of padel and strengthen the ecosystem that creates value for players, partners, and shareholders alike.”
