What Sport Equipalia (grupo Jim Sports) does

Sport Equipalia, S.L. is a Spanish sports-facility construction company founded in 2005 as a dedicated entity within the Jim Sports Group. The company delivers turnkey sports infrastructure projects — padel courts (Standard, Panoramic, and Premium variants), football pitches sized for 11-a-side, 8-a-side, and 5-a-side formats, tennis courts, pavilions, playgrounds, swimming pools, gym flooring, and urban furniture — to municipalities, private sports clubs, schools and universities, and fitness operators across Spain, Romania, the Dominican Republic, and Equatorial Guinea. The firm owns dedicated Engineering, Sales, and Construction departments that manage projects from concept and CAD design through installation and ongoing maintenance, and serves customers through a direct-sales model with regional offices in each served country.

The product portfolio is anchored by proprietary brands Pavigrass (artificial turf — Super Tie, HCT, Fibrillated, Monofilament, and Supercourt WPT variants, plus STADIUM 45 and STADIUM 60 football turf) and Pavigames (Pavitrack modular pumptracks). Technical differentiators include FIFA QUALITY and FIFA QUALITY PRO certified turf, a proprietary elastic Football 5 foundation co-developed with RC Deportivo de La Coruña's professional players for muscle-injury prevention, and a multi-discipline construction capability combining galvanized-steel court structures, tempered glass, LED illumination, and bespoke equipment supply.

The business operates a project-based, professional-services revenue model in which customers contact the firm for custom quotes and projects are delivered with installation, warranty, maintenance, and sports-assessment services. Revenue is generated both from construction contracts (engineering, civil works, installation) and from the sale of proprietary and third-party hardware (turf, flooring, lighting, equipment) drawn from partners such as Mondo, Forbo, and Matrix. Pricing is not publicly disclosed, and customer acquisition relies on a multilingual website (Spanish, English, French), digital product catalogs, blog content, social media presence, and direct field sales through regional offices. The firm has used EU/regional export grants from Igape Galicia Exporta Empresas to support internationalization.

Scale indicators4 records

Recent moves8 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• FieldTurf: One of the largest global artificial turf and sports surfacing companies. Competes for the same FIFA-grade football installation contracts and brings broader scale advantages.
• Mondo: Global leader in sports surfaces and tracks. Mondo supplies the high-end turf that Sport Equipalia integrates into its padel and football installations and is also a broader incumbent that can compete for full turnkey contracts in Spain and internationally.
• Forbo Flooring Systems: Major flooring manufacturer whose sport linoleum and vinyl Sport Equipalia uses in pavilions and gym flooring. Overlaps with Sport Equipalia in indoor sports surfacing categories across Europe.

Regional players

• Saltex: Spain-based sports construction and surfacing company. Directly competes with Sport Equipalia in the Iberian padel, football, and multi-sport installation market.

Direct peers

• Limonta Sport: Italian-based manufacturer and installer of artificial turf and sports surfaces. Closely comparable in product portfolio (turf, padel, football) and full-service construction approach within Southern Europe.
• GreenFields: FIFA-certified artificial turf producer and installer with strong European presence. Directly comparable on FIFA QUALITY/PRO-certified football turf and integrated installation services.
• ACT Global Sports: FIFA-preferred artificial turf manufacturer and installer with international project delivery. Comparable on certified football turf and turnkey sports facility construction.
• Polytan: German manufacturer of athletic surfaces and artificial turf with full turnkey installation capability. Directly comparable product-and-installation model across football, tennis, and multisport facilities.

Emerging players

• TigerTurf: Artificial turf manufacturer with growing presence in football and multi-sport installations. Comparable on product portfolio (FIFA-certified turf) though smaller scale than the top incumbents.

Others

• Matrix Fitness: Strategic equipment partner supplying Sport Equipalia's gym and Crossfit zones. An adjacent ecosystem participant rather than a direct competitor, but reflects the broader sports-facility value chain.
