Padel Consortium, an atypical positioning on the French equipment market padel for 25 years

Led by André Lafenetre for several years, this pioneering company on the land and equipment market padel, as well as events related to this sport, is experiencing a new boom in 2023.

At the start of the year, the management team is growing with the arrival of two new partners: Michael Dejean, an events and photovoltaic specialist, and Frédéric Rémy, a business developer who has worked for brands of fame.

These new members will bring their respective expertise and contribute to the development and growth of the company. Michael Dejean will focus on event management and the integration of photovoltaic solutions, while Frédéric Rémy will put his experience in business development at the service of the company's expansion.

A pool of recognized partners

New president of the structure, Michael declares: “We will build on the foundations of Padel Consortium, which brings together customers and experts in the padel in a common interest, in order to provide a qualitative and appropriate response to all project leaders. We have therefore formed a group of partners, all recognized experts on the market, who validate our commercial and technical approach.”

Several brands, such as Metal Laser, Conca Sport and Greenpark, specializing in the construction of courts, as well as other players in the fields of commercial management, communication, reservations and automated management, have joined this approach. . Another important advantage, in a context where energy is a major issue, is that Padel Consortium offers economical and ecological solutions thanks to its expertise in photovoltaics, green roofs and wastewater management, for sustainable installations and projects.

Padel Consortium also has extensive experience in supplying equipment for players, such as rackets and textiles.

“My new associates allow Padel Consortium to go beyond the traditional framework of court installers and bring real added value to all project leaders, whether public or private. A club of padel is not limited to the simple rental of courts, it is a social responsibility, a social life, an optimized management. Each project is unique and must be integrated into a societal and energy reality. For many years, we have worked for the development of padel and we had to be forerunners again in this period of growth in the sport, which, moreover, is more measured than it seems. I've had the chance to rub shoulders with the actors of the padel, to observe the successes, the difficulties, the failures,” says André, who, thanks to his experience in the market and his various experiences in the field of sport, has a global vision of a sustainable economic project.

We cannot offer the same menu for all

Indeed, the sustainability of an economic project is Frédéric's favorite field.

He emphasizes: “The analysis of the context of the project in its environment, with its assets, its constraints and above all its medium or long-term objectives, determines the ideal solution. It is not possible to offer the same model for everyone, without taking into account the specificities of the place, the financial parameters and the wishes of the project leader... We prefer to create the most ideal solution, and for this we need of all the necessary expertise. We will humbly seek them where they are. We are not simple sellers of courts, advice is an integral part of our approach, as is support during and after installation. The price of the equipment is an important element of the file, but it cannot be the only criterion of choice for a vision of success. André showed me different achievements, some of which go against common sense, which have or will have significant consequences on the operation, and which often result from an analysis based solely on price.”

With its many references and its national reputation, Padel Consortium can bring its experience, provide advice adapted to the project and propose different solutions in the interest of the club! What price is worth the serenity of having an available contact person before, during and after creation and construction?
