Francisco Pérez Galisteo, founder and CEO of Padel Galis, has bought a majority stake in Auro System, according to the International Padel Cluster (CIP). Auro produces an attachment for pádel and tennis racquets that both helps corrects a player’s grip and dampens the racquet’s vibration.

Padel Galis is a maker of courts and maintains partnerships with the World Padel Tour, Wilson Sporting Goods and Fernando Belasteguín, the 16-time world number-one player, now advising on court design.

In 2021 Pérez Galisteo sold a portion of Padel Galis to Atitlan Group, which manages about €1 billion in assets. He is also the founder and sole owner of Family Sport Center, soon to be the world’s largest pádel club (with 41 courts), and the founder and majority partner of Domotik Padel, which is opening for business this year with an ambition is to become the world’s largest chain of automated pádel clubs.
