NOX makes padel rackets, clothing, footwear and accessories. The world number one Agustín Tapia plays with NOX.

Ownership

In 2025 the British private equity firm Oakley Capital invested in NOX through its Origin Fund II. Jesús Ballvé said the investor's expertise in digital marketing would help to expand into new markets. Oakley is a European investor, so no non-European parent flag applies.
