KUALA LUMPUR, 7 November 2024 – ASCARO has unveiled a new partnership with Padel Galis, the Spanish padel court manufacturer, securing its position as the manufacturer’s exclusive distributor in Malaysia.
After opening its doors just over a year ago at the rooftop of 1Utama New Wing, the ASCARO Padel & Social Club has set the standard for the city’s padel courts. Their dedication to outfitting their facilities with the finest grade materials available showcases the differences in quality and returns on investment.
“At ASCARO, we not only distribute padel courts but also manage our own clubs, and we are certain that Padel Galis courts will be a durable investment over time,” said Daniel Liljekvist, managing director and partner at ASCARO.
Price versus Quality: You Get What You Pay For
As the sport has gained traction and popularity in the region, so has the growing demand for high-quality facilities. One of ASCARO’s goals is to champion Padel as an elite sport while still staying true to its roots. Originating in Acapulco, Mexico, in 1969, padel was then introduced to Spain by Prince Alfonso of Hohenlohe-Langenburg, who built two courts at his Marbella Club Hotel.
The sport has made its global presence felt, and Southeast Asia is no exception. The tropical region is exposed to weather that can wear down a court, such as high humidity, heavy rains, and strong winds.
Salva Segura, chief growth officer of Padel Galis, explains: “The quality of the courts in a region like Southeast Asia is non-negotiable. Extreme weather conditions test the materials, and if they aren’t of high quality, maintenance and repair costs rise significantly.”
Liljekvist adds: “We’ve seen how the appeal of low-priced products can be tempting in the short-term, but in areas with high humidity and frequent rain, investing in quality is essential.”
Popular demand would lead to healthy competition, and the Malaysian padel market is no exception. Numerous low-cost alternatives are entering the market and often falling short in terms of quality. Cheaper courts tend to experience ‘wear-and-tear’ issues such as oxidation, cracking, and breakage, especially under adverse weather conditions.
Investing in high-quality materials, specifically by Padel Galis, would result in long-term savings by reducing repair and replacement costs.
A Promising Future of Padel in Malaysia
Padel Galis’ contribution to the development of padel in Malaysia will offer local clubs and players padel facilities that will meet the highest international standards.
“That’s why we are thrilled to work with ASCARO, a company that shares our vision in providing durable, top-tier solutions for our clients,” adds Segura.

By participating in this exhibition, where the latest digital technologies will be showcased, DataLabs aims to raise its profile in the civil engineering and construction industry in Thailand and other Asian countries and accelerate its efforts to forge concrete alliances.
DataLabs Inc. (Headquartered in Chuo-ku, Tokyo;
Daisuke Tajiri, President; hereinafter “DataLabs”) will exhibit at
“DigiTech ASEAN Thailand 2024” in Thailand. By participating in this
exhibition, where the latest digital technologies will be showcased, DataLabs
aims to raise its profile in the civil engineering and construction industry in Thailand and other Asian countries and accelerate its efforts to forge concrete
alliances.
“Thailand 4.0”
plan and the current state of the construction industry in Thailand
Thailand is currently growing under rapid
urbanization and government infrastructure investment plans. In particular, transportation infrastructure and urban development are active, with investment
in significant projects such as high-speed rail and road construction to
alleviate increasingly severe traffic congestion and the construction of
airports to accommodate the growing number of international travelers.
The Thai government has announced the economic
reform plan “Thailand 4.0,” aiming to advance industries through the
use of digital technology and innovation, with a strong focus on the
construction sector. The government is
promoting the introduction of the use of 3D data in the construction industry
to increase the efficiency and transparency of construction projects,
emphasizing the digitalization of urban infrastructure and the construction of
smart cities.
Background and Purpose of Exhibiting at
“DigiTech ASEAN Thailand 2024”
Thailand has strong ties to Japan, and Japan has
contributed to developing roads, bridges, and other infrastructure through ODA.
DataLabs also believes that Thailand is one of the most important countries in
Asia and would like to strengthen cooperation in the future. When we spoke at the Japan-Thailand Road
Traffic Technology Seminar hosted by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure,
Transport, and Tourism in February of this year, we received a lot of interest
in our products.
DigiTech ASEAN Thailand 2024 is one of the most
significant technology events in Southeast Asia to be held in Bangkok. Over 350
companies specializing in innovative technologies such as business software,
e-commerce, digital marketing, cybersecurity, data & cloud services, smart
solutions, and AI will be exhibiting at the event. DataLabs will be exhibiting
in the Data & Cloud Services and Business Software category and showcasing
its products “Modely” and “Hatsuly”. DataLabs aims to create new business opportunities by promoting our
solutions to attendees who are highly interested in digitalization in the
construction industry and developing new business opportunities.
The significant role
of “Modely” and “Hatsuly” in managing Thailand’s aging infrastructure
Starting in the 1970s, Thailand’s construction of social infrastructure, including roads and
bridges, is aging extensively. In recent years,
more efficient infrastructure maintenance and management is required within a
limited budget. Under these circumstances, “Modely” and
“Hatsuly” are expected to demonstrate high potential in Thailand’s
infrastructure repairs.
Modely is a 3D rebar inspection system that
utilizes point cloud data. The measured inspection items’ actual values are
automatically converted into a report.
Hatsuly is an application that uses 3D data
acquired onsite using a smartphone or tablet to automatically calculate
various repair items such as crack
length, area, depth, and volume, and even generates reports. The application
aims to establish an infrastructure maintenance system that encompasses repair
surveys, repair work, and maintenance management using 3D data.
Implementing these systems significantly reduces
inspection costs and work time. By utilizing Modely and Hatsuly, DataLabs is
committed to contributing to both Thailand’s infrastructure construction and
repair works and the realization of a sustainable society.
