Revolutionizing sports construction: 3 tech innovations we use in padel court projects

Written by Communications Department Portico Sport May 13, 2025

At Portico Sport, we believe that true excellence in sports infrastructure is born from a deep commitment to padel innovation and engineering expertise. In a fast-evolving global landscape, the intersection of design, technology, and construction is reshaping how padel courts are conceived, built, and experienced.

As a leading global manufacturer of padel courts and canopies, our approach to sports construction tech isn’t just about speed — it’s about building smarter, stronger, and more efficient solutions that deliver long-term performance and value. Every project reflects our mission to create the next generation of performance-driven, sustainable sports facilities.

Sports construction tech behind every padel court

Innovation is at the core of our production process. Since 2023, our state-of-the-art 8,000 m² factory—the most advanced in the industry—has allowed us to bring new levels of efficiency, quality, and scalability to padel court construction.

Here are some of the key tech innovations that set Portico Sport apart:

🔹 Robotic welding assembly line

Our fully automated robotic welding system ensures precision, consistency, and structural integrity across every court. This advanced technology reduces human error, enhances safety, and allows for repeatable, high-quality welds that meet the demands of professional use and extreme weather resistance.

🔹 Laser-cut steel structures

Precision is non-negotiable. We employ laser cutting technology for all our court structures, enabling millimetric accuracy, smoother finishes, and a better fit during assembly. This not only improves the durability of the courts but also streamlines installation, ensuring perfect alignment and faster execution.

🔹 100% in-house manufacturing

Our factory is designed around a fully integrated production model, with distinct zones for design, fabrication, welding, paint & lacquering. This setup gives us complete control over the production process and guarantees traceability of every material used, along with rigorous quality control at every stage.

100% in-house manufacturing

By combining innovative design with robust production capacity, we empower our teams to work with greater efficiency while maintaining the highest quality standards in the industry. The result: padel courts and canopies that meet the needs of clubs, federations, and athletes around the world.

Padel innovation that serves performance and reliability

Our investment in sports construction tech for padel allows us to:

  • Accelerate installation times without compromising on quality
  • Ensure structural durability and resistance to challenging weather (including hurricane-prone areas)
  • Deliver custom solutions with precision-engineered components
  • Improve cost-efficiency for clubs and developers thanks to high-capacity manufacturing
  • Offer consistent quality worldwide, from Europe to the Americas and the Middle East

This future-forward approach is how we support the evolving needs of the global padel community and why our courts are trusted in over 35 countries, with more than 4,000 installations completed to date.

A commitment to evolving with the sport

From international tournaments to public sports venues and private clubs, our clients choose Portico Sport because we offer more than padel construction — we bring a vision. As padel continues to grow globally, we remain focused on developing technologies that enhance not just where the sport is played, but how it is experienced.

We’re proud to be at the forefront of a movement that’s transforming the world of padel with sustainable materials, next-gen engineering, and tech-driven excellence.
