Originating in Europe, Pallap Padel announced its brand launch in the U.S. and Canada.
Led by Philip Mintz, president and owner of Pallap Sport USA and the North American distributor of Pallap Padel products, Mintz is a Head, Dunlop Racquet Sports industry veteran with over 30 years of experience leading global racket brands.
Utilizing his expertise in the category of an emerging sport in the U.S., Mintz obtained the rights to Pallap in the U.S. and Canada, where he saw an opportunity in the marketplace.
“With the explosive growth of Padel courts in the U.S., we see an opportunity for a technical, high-performance brand for all levels of play. Pallap brings quality and performance equipment for every player from beginner to professional,” said Mintz.
In a media release, the company cited the 2024 Global Padel Report by Playtomic, which reports that “the number of Padel courts in the U.S. has grown by an average of 61 percent per year since 2016, with the majority of that growth coming in just the last 18 to 24 months. In addition, the 2024 World Padel Report by the International Padel Federation (FIP) estimated there was a 152 percent court growth in the U.S. in 2023.”
For the North American launch, Pallap Padel is introducing two series of rackets for Padel players—the Power Velocity and Control Velocity Series. Pallap is also introducing men’s and women’s apparel collections made from sustainable materials and Pallap Padel racket bags and accessories.
