Our manufacturing method, from R&D to install

1

In-house design (R&D Lyon)

Our design office develops the portable kits, selects industrial suppliers (Germany for PVC, France for tiles), and validates each reference under real play conditions.

2

Assembly and packaging

Kits are assembled and packaged in our French partner workshops. Unit-level quality control, labeling, and serial-number traceability.

3

Logistics and shipping

Central stock in Lyon, shipments within 5 days across mainland France via Geodis or DPD depending on volume. Real-time tracking and shipping insurance included.

4

Install by our certified teams

Install teams are our employees or exclusive partners trained in-house over 5 to 8 days. On-site supervision by a senior install lead, signed handover.

The only French manufacturer specialized in pickleball

We were born in 2021 from one observation: pickleball is exploding in France but no local industrial channel existed to supply quality courts, delivered fast and adapted to the European market. We built ours, integrating design, assembly in France, and installation by our certified teams.

Our expertise

Our R&D is based in Lyon. Our industrial teams assemble portable kits, package sport-grade PVC rolls sourced from our German industrial partner (EN 14904 standard), assemble snap-together tile kits with patented connectors, and coordinate acrylic resin projects with our certified applicators. Everything is traced, warranted, and installed under our direct responsibility.

Why made in France really matters

Beyond marketing, made in France brings concrete, measurable advantages: delivery times divided by 3 compared to Asian suppliers, French-language after-sales with 6-day-a-week hotline, native compliance with EN and FFP standards, circular economy (80% of our consumables are recyclable or recycled), and support for the local sports industry.

Our certifications and warranties

  • EN 14904 standard (indoor sports floor coverings): PVC roll, indoor tiles
  • FFP compliance (French Pickleball Federation): certified acrylic resin
  • USAPA compliance (USA Pickleball): acrylic resin for international clubs
  • 10-year construction insurance on all permanent works
  • Manufacturer warranty: 2 years (kit), 5 years (roll, tiles), 10 years (resin)
  • Qualibat certification (currently extending to all regions)

A team of sports and construction experts

Our team combines sports expertise (former tennis and pickleball players, FFP trainers) and construction expertise (experienced site managers, Plexipave-certified resin applicators). This dual competency is rare in France and guarantees courts that respect both construction regulatory requirements and international play standards.

Frequently asked questions about our French pickleball manufacturing

Is the PVC roll really made in France? +

No, and we say it transparently: the sport-grade PVC roll is sourced from a top-tier German industrial partner (EN 14904 standard, European leader). No equivalent production exists in France today. However, packaging, French technical labeling, and full traceability are handled in France. For portable kits and snap-together tiles, assembly is done in France.

Why work with a French manufacturer rather than a reseller? +

Three key advantages: (1) single point of contact from design to install, so clear accountability, (2) French-language after-sales with 6-day-a-week hotline, (3) deep knowledge of the French market (FFP standards, public grants, regional climate constraints). See also our project portfolio for the diversity of work we deliver.

Who are your install teams and how are they trained? +

Our field teams are made up of direct employees and exclusive partners trained in-house over 5 to 8 days. Training covers technical install, site safety, quality control, and client relations. Every install lead is senior (minimum 10 years construction) and certified for pickleball-specific standards (bounce, slip, line marking). No opaque subcontracting, no unknown crew showing up on day one.

Are you Qualibat-certified or hold other quality labels? +

Yes for acrylic resin (Plexipave-certified applicator) and 10-year construction insurance covering all our permanent works. Qualibat 2353 (sports floor surfaces) certification is being rolled out to all our intervention regions for 2026. We systematically provide certificates on request in the quote.

Do you only work in France or also for export? +

Our core business is mainland France, but we also operate in Belgium, Luxembourg, French-speaking Switzerland, and Northern Italy via local partnerships. For more distant export projects (Spain, Germany), we supply the kits and remotely support local teams with training and technical assistance. Contact us for a custom study.
