On May 22 the Distribution agreement for Europe was signed between the brand DABBER (www.dabbersport.com) and the company STOCKPADEL ( www.stockpadel.com ) The agreement was signed by the managers of the two companies, Antonio Di Battista and Enrique Vicente González, respectively.
DABBER is one of the oldest manufacturers in this market, with its own factory in Argentina. It has been operating since 1.986. Gabriel (son) conceived and made, back in the summer of that year, the first padel racket. His two older brothers, Antonio and Alberto, contributed ideas and complemented the initiator, giving the fledgling project a more formal and dynamic character. Only 6 months after the first actual sale it became necessary to strengthen the business given its rapid growth. In the end, almost by unanimous vote, one name stood above all others: Dabber. By the end of 1988 it was already competing with well-known international brands, being a pioneer in the incorporation of new materials and construction processes such as low-density EVA foam, medium-cure EVA, high-pressure composite laminated cores (rubber, wood, fiber), etc.
In early 1992 Dabber, with the success achieved, launched the brand beyond national borders, beginning to market its products in neighboring countries, the USA and the European Community. It currently has facilities exceeding 1600 m2 of surface area.
STOCKPADEL is a recently created company, formed by two padel enthusiasts: Enrique Vicente González and Santiago Sánchez Hidalgo. The former carries out the role of its Manager and trained at the University of Córdoba, with a degree in Business Administration (ADE) and an MBA in Business Management specializing in Digital Marketing.
STOCKPADEL combines retail sales, both in its physical store in Córdoba and online, with wholesale, and this distribution agreement is an important boost to establish itself in the market as a benchmark, since it will be the operator for EUROPE of one of the brands with the most history and expertise in the manufacture of padel rackets. It also has an advisory team with more than 25 years in marketing top-level padel brands and is currently completing the sales team that will carry out its work throughout the country.
The launch of the Collection for Europe 2018/19 with 7 models that will cover the needs of any padel player is planned for July.
Antonio Di Battista: “This agreement is a pleasure for us, as we are putting ourselves in the hands of one of the companies, albeit young, with the most knowledge of the sector in Spain, which will know how to relaunch it again in Europe too.
Enrique Vicente González: “For us, having the DABBER brand in our portfolio is a great honor and an important responsibility that we will not waste, and we will look after it as if it were our own brand”
