How it all started


Nicolau Silva, the creator of Cork Padel, began by restoring padel rackets. Soon after, he set out to design a truly unique racket — a project he has been developing for over 10 years.

Pedro Plantier, founding member of the Portuguese Padel Federation and the country’s first national champion, later joined the brand. Together, they built the foundation of Cork’s success.

Today, Cork Padel is celebrated for its one-of-a-kind design, distinctive texture, and above all, the quality and durability of its products — trusted by players not only in Portugal, but around the globe.
