The license bears the name of HEAD PRESSURIZERS and allows the distribution of four models of tennis and paddle ball pressurizers with the aim of to complete the product portfolio of the Austrian company and to broaden the sales horizon of TuboPlus, líderes del mercado en su sector.
Asimismo, seeks to export the model of sustainability and environmental care that TuboPlus has championed since it was founded. en 2013 y se enmarca dentro de la iniciativa HEAD Rethink, cuya finalidad es mejorar el rendimiento deportivo de todos los productos, minimizando la huella ambiental de la compañía.
“Creo que es el mejor acuerdo tanto para TuboPlus como para HEAD. A nosotros nos va a ayudar a internacionalizarnos, a expandirnos y a asentarnos como la primera marca de presurizadores del mundo, mientras que HEAD se posiciona como primera marca global que apuesta y decide incorporar a su catálogo un producto puntero en innovación, desarrollo y sostenibilidad”, explica el director of the Spanish firm, Juanjo Muñoz Paredes.
For Muñoz Paredes, the ball pressurizers are an important absolutely necessary" product in the backpack of tennis and padel players to extend the life of the balls and reduce their high production, which is around 360 million a year, according to the International Tennis Federation. "It's something new, functional and modern, which maintains the bounce quality of the balls for longer and avoids possible injuries," he says.
In the words of Ricky Brigolle, Category Manager Racquetsports at HEAD SpainThe development of the pressurizers achieves two objectives of vital importance to HEAD: firstly, it minimizes the environmental impact, as the number of balls discarded is minimized, and secondly, With this launch, we offer players all the products they need to enjoy racquet sports.
The collection of pressurizers consists of four models, suitable for tennis and paddle, with the following benefits:
HEAD X3 BLACK maintains the pressure of three balls (tennis and paddle) thanks to its hermetic sealing system patented by TuboPlus, which allows to seal the air inside and increase the pressure up to 14-16 PSI. Thus, the balls cannot eliminate their internal air and maintain the original pressure.
HEAD X3 PUMP(three balls) and HEAD X4 PUMP (four balls) maintain and, in addition, recover the pressure of the balls. These pressurizers, as in the previous model, incorporate the same hermetic sealing system, but include a high-end valve to inject air and an air pump. These models are able to increase the internal pressure of the balls up to 22-34 PSI.
HEAD X100 BASKET with a capacity for up to 103 balls, has an air injection system that allows to increase the pressure inside up to 21 PSI. This model can be used with an air compressor or a foot pump and is the ideal choice for clubs, schools and tennis and paddle instructors.
Sustainability and care for the environment are the basic pillars of this agreement., que se completan con el ahorro para el usuario final. “Nuestros presurizadores mantienen las pelotas de tenis y padel en buen estado durante más tiempo, por lo que los jugadores les van a sacar más partido y van a tardar más tiempo en comprar botes nuevos. Esto se traduce en ahorro y en reducción de residuos contaminantes”, indica el director de TuboPlus.
En este sentido, Muñoz Paredes recuerda que varios estudios calculan que, por cada kilo de caucho sintético fabricado, del que se componen las pelotas de tenis y padel, se generan 4 kilos de CO2. Así, defiende la importancia de ser conscientes con la huella medioambiental. "We have to think about the future, about the planet we want to leave to our children."he concludes.
