The popularity of padel, also known in English as paddle or paddle tennis, has grown enormously in recent years, making it a highly profitable business opportunity. However, the profitability of padel courts depends on several factors, which we have discussed previously and can be found [here]. Today, we focus on an essential aspect: ensuring you invest in courts that stand the test of time, both in terms of material quality and installation process. MejorSet stands out in the industry due to its commitment to excellence and certifications such as CE marking, ISO 14001, and ISO 9001. In this article, we will explore why these certifications are important and how they ensure that MejorSet's padel courts are more likely to be profitable investments in the medium term.
Padel, also known as paddle or paddle tennis, is rapidly gaining traction worldwide. At MejorSet, we are working on new installations in the Mall of Africa, Midrand (South Africa), and setting up courts in front of Wembley Stadium in the UK, the iconic venue for the upcoming 2024 Champions League finals.
The unique blend of tennis and squash elements makes padel an attractive sport for all ages. As the sport's popularity grows, so does the demand for high-quality padel courts.
When it comes to building a padel club, the quality and safety of the courts are decisive factors that can influence the success of the business. International certifications such as CE marking, ISO 14001, and ISO 9001 guarantee that MejorSet's padel courts not only meet the highest standards but also offer tangible benefits for the profitability and sustainability of your club. Here’s how each of these certifications contributes to the success of your investment:
The CE marking indicates that MejorSet's products meet the essential health, safety, and environmental protection requirements set by the European Union. For a padel club, this means that the courts have been evaluated and approved to ensure a safe environment for players. Compliance with these standards:
- Increases customer confidence: Players and club members can be assured they are using facilities that not only are official courts of the best tournaments but also meet the highest safety standards.
- Reduces legal risks: Compliance with European regulations minimizes the risk of litigation due to safety issues.
- Facilitates access to international markets: If you plan to expand your club or attract players from different countries, the CE marking is a globally recognized quality seal.
The ISO 14001 certification focuses on environmental management, which is increasingly important for modern and eco-conscious businesses. MejorSet has implemented an environmental management system that meets this standard.
- Enhances corporate image: A padel club that demonstrates its commitment to sustainability attracts a customer base that values environmental care.
- Regulatory compliance: Keeping up with local and national environmental regulations can avoid fines and sanctions, thus protecting your long-term investment.
The ISO 9001 certification ensures that MejorSet maintains a rigorous quality management system focused on continuous improvement and customer satisfaction. For your padel club, this translates into:
- Consistent products and services: MejorSet's padel courts are manufactured and installed following standardized procedures that ensure high quality at all times.
- Customer satisfaction: The high quality and durability of the courts result in a superior experience for players, fostering loyalty and attracting new club members.
- Operational efficiency: Optimized processes and a focus on continuous improvement can help reduce errors and waste, which in turn lowers costs and increases profitability.
Leading the way in design innovation, safety, and quality across all processes has led MejorSet to be chosen as the official supplier of the International Padel Federation (FIP) in 2020, and to be selected as the official court provider for Premier Padel in early 2024. Exclusive court models have been launched for each organization.

In the short term, many courts may seem attractive, but the flaws in installation become apparent after a few years, and what seemed cheap ends up being expensive. It’s crucial to know what is needed before building a padel club. You can find our article on this topic [here]. At MejorSet, we understand that although the importance of these certificates may not be immediately recognized in an emerging sport, CE marking and safety, and quality certifications attract more players and thus the success of the club, with higher usage rates and revenues. Additionally, sustainable practices can reduce operational costs and attract a broader customer base.
It's not just important to understand the market, where the club or courts will be installed, having a clear business vision and plan, but also to understand the difference between the main padel court providers in terms of process quality and guarantees. At MejorSet, our pillars are clear, where quality is non-negotiable.
