Padel World Press .- A new program of This is Paddle, a space co-produced by Padel World Press and Capital Radio that, on this occasion, had as guests two of the main responsible for the success of the popular StarVie brand, Jorge Gómez de la Vega, Director General, and Alberto Mancho, Director of the Azuqueca de Henares factory. Both told us how the new collection of paddle paddles launched to the market is working and also went into detail in the manufacturing processes they carry out to get products of the highest quality.
Facing this 2018 from the firm 100% Spanish bet on expanding the number of references and, above all, innovation, following a strategy that resulted in new molds, materials and also design styles. Jorge explained that in this first half of the year the results are still excellent, with the public and that the specialized stores are responding very well to the effort put into the development of their new models.
Alberto Mancho, main responsible for manufacturing, revealed some of the details that characterize this new 'baking', with which they intend to set trends: "With these new molds we have the opportunity to give another type of gameplay to the blades. We have incorporated new materials, such as Aramid, which also make them more durable "
Taking advantage of the experience of the head of the factory we are interested in the Manufacturing process, which in StarVie is divided into a series of eight steps in which you go through the design, the choice of molds and format or the test of the manufacturing materials. For the latter, they continuously seek out those that provide better performance and, in that sense, visit different fairs aimed at sectors such as aeronautics or automotive, with the firm purpose of obtaining new ideas: "We seek product quality and for this we innovate continuously. We want to find shovels that give good sensations and are adapted to the needs of each type of paddle player. "
Alberto has made hundreds of blades throughout his career but, if he had to keep one, he would opt for one of the ones that is part of this latest collection: "The one I like most is the new Titania. It complies with what I look for on the track, because it is semi-rigid and allows me to have power and control at the same time ".
This choice makes it clear that in 2018 they have exceeded the level of quality and performance ... Both Jorge and Alberto did not hesitate to define it as your best collection to date and that result is determined by the care and dedication they have put into the development of each shovel, betting on a artisanal process covered by an exhaustive quality control in which the success is determined by the hand of the operator: "That is the one that carries out all the steps, counting on a single machine in the production line, dedicated to making holes in the surface".
StarVie, as a brand, goes beyond mere manufacturing and sale. They also carry out different events nationally and internationally that have the objective of making the fans enjoy. Projects like StarVie Test they are a success since their first appointment while other initiatives, such as Factory Tour developed in Japan in recent dates, respond to the growing interest in paddle in more and more countries, a fact that is already being translated into a improvement of results more than remarkable, as Jorge Gómez de la Vega confirmed: "We have increased our external sales in more than one 200% in the past year".
Another remarkable success for the signing of the star is its transfer policy, by which this year they incorporated new players and players while other members of the team, such as the Brazilian Lucas Bergamini, one of the revelations of the campaign, or the very young Bea González, are present frequently in the final rounds of all the big tournaments.
To finish, we talked about one of the most recurrent doubts among amateur players: the durability of a shovel. From his experience, Alberto highlighted several keys that influence the useful life of our track partner, putting the accent on the care we give him and the intensity of the game. In conclusion: a model preserved in good condition and in the hands of a player with a non-aggressive style can last 2 years with ease.
