NUCLEON1
NucleoN1 project, an entirely Italian company based in Treviso (Italy), n 2020 thanks to an insight from the two co-founders, Piero Giardina and Marco Ragazzi, who were able to transform their passion for Padel into a unique business initiative. In a time of great challenges and changes, while the world was slowing down, they accelerated, demonstrating their ability to seize the development opportunities of a market (that of Padel) in great expansion in Italy and in the world and of the growing demand for quality equipment.
With over twenty years of experience in the flat glass industry, during which they supplied panels to padel court manufacturing companies, the founders already had deep knowledge of this world. Il Padel, which had already won them over personally, pushed them to “seize the opportunity” with the same dynamic approach that characterizes the sport: perfect timing, early reading of the game and the ability to transform a favorable occasion into a concrete opportunity.
In the three years following their insight, they dedicated energy, time, and financial resources to extensive research and development activity. Their study focused on carefully selecting the most qualified manufacturers working for the main international tennis and padel players. The outcome of this thorough analysis process was the strategic decision to focus exclusively on products of excellence, choosing to inaugurate their project with the supply of balls.
In 2024 NucleoN1 finally comes to life, inaugurating its market entry at PADEL TREND Expo 2024, where it is the official supplier with PADEL PRO N1 Balls, a product of the highest quality and undisputed performance, already confirmed by the previous obtaining of FITP certification. At the end of the year, the second part of the project begins, namely the supply of PADEL PRO N1 Courts.
The objective is clear: on one hand, to export a Made in Italy brand of excellence, on the other, to promote a social project that goes beyond sport. Through targeted partnerships with committed associations, NucleoN1 intends to stimulate concrete actions of social inclusion, respect, and equal opportunities.
PADEL BALLS
FITP CERTIFICATION & OFFCIAL EVENTS
The quality and performance of PRO PADEL N1 balls have been certified from the beginning by the FITP (Italian Tennis Padel Federation), which subjects products to rigorous laboratory tests to grant approval, during which characteristics such as weight, size, internal pressure, elasticity, and durability are verified.
This ensures consistency of bounce, resistance to wear, and constancy of all characteristics, in order to provide a uniform playing experience for all players, minimizing the variability that could negatively influence the sporting result.
The certification, synonymous with quality and guarantee, is also the necessary conditio for admission to official Padel events and tournaments in Italy, in which NucleoN1 has participated since its entry into the market.
Among the first there are:
- Official Supplier at PADEL TREND EXPO | Milan | January 2024
- Official Partner at PADEL WORLD SUMMIT | Malaga | May 2024
- Official Supplier at PADELNESS Fiera d’Oltremare | Naples | November 2024
- Technical Partner at RAQUET TREND EXPO | Milan | March 2025
MISSION & PARTNERSHIP
NucleoN1 entered the market dressing its balls with a special outfit, offering the tube in two distinct colors, one blue and one fuchsia; a choice as unusual as it is significant. A true Made in Italy style statement, which immediately transforms into concrete social commitment thanks to the collaboration established with the Movimento Padel Femminile, with which NucleoN1 has signed a partnership since its inception.
Between the two companies, there is an active collaboration for the promotion and organization of specific events that favor the recognition of the important female presence in the world of Padel and increase the number of women practicing this sport. Among the main values of the association are also projects aimed at charity and issues related to women’s health and protection.
However, this is just the beginning, because NucleoN1 has already identified several Associations with which to develop other projects, which every day are committed to offering everyone the same opportunities, fighting all forms of exclusion and discrimination.
Padel is a unifying sport that promotes not only socialization between people, but also 360° inclusion, thanks to the breaking down of all those “barriers” – fictitious and real – that even those who want to approach a sport must face every day.
Padel can be practiced by anyone because there are no limits of age, gender, race, or even “disability”… and, above all, it can be done “all together” – regardless of one’s status, an opportunity that almost the majority of other sports do not allow!
DESIGN & CUSTOMIZATION
NucleoN1 offers an innovative customization service for:
- padel clubs
- corporate sporting events
- private events/anniversaries
- communication and marketing agencies.
The labels can be customized in different ways:
- by inserting the logo and adapting to company colors the current “Designed in Italy” graphics which, thanks to the color choices and texture, already communicates dynamism and character, distinguishing itself from the landscape of large international brands, often monochromatic and standardized
- by creating custom graphics that best express company values and intentions
- by printing high-definition graphics, texts, or photos provided directly by the client, which “tell the story” of the event for which the balls are given as gifts
Label customization therefore allows transforming a standard product into an effective marketing tool, and the prestige of “Designed in Italy” adds value to the product, evoking quality, style, and elegance – characteristics highly appreciated in the market.
For corporate events, these customized labels can help strengthen brand identity and leave a lasting impression on clients, increasing brand awareness and thus becoming a true communication and promotion tool.
For private events, such as weddings, birthdays, or celebrations, they are a new alternative to the usual “gifts” and a fun means to promote social connection.
PADEL COURTS
N1 MODEL F
Over 25 years of experience in the flat glass sector, combined with the supply of the same to field producers, have guaranteed the two founders of NucleoN1 a technical background that has proved crucial in this new challenge. From here comes the understanding of the peculiar characteristics that a field must present, the identification of the strengths and critical points of the materials used, the evaluation of the most appropriate technical construction solutions.
This is how the Camp PADEL N1 MODEL F was born, featuring a 3,150 kg galvanised iron structure that exemplifies engineering excellence in the field of sports installations. This heavy structure, weighing over half a ton, immediately stands out from its competitors and grantees exceptional solidity and durability.
The robustness of the structure is evident in various aspects:
- the load-bearing uprights have a thicker profile and larger dimensions than industry standards.
- the lateral supports and ground anchors are particularly substantial
- the joints and connections between the structural elements are reinforced for added strength.
- the perimeter metal mesh is secured by a more durable iron frame.
This increased structural mass offers significant advantages during use:
- superior stability, even in strong winds
- reduced vibrations during intense play
almost complete - elimination of oscillations and unwanted movements
- extended lifespan of the system, even with heavy usage.
The oversized structure visually conveys strength and quality of construction, ensuring a safe long-term investment.
