Daplast becomes the new Stadium Partner of the Nou Mestalla and will produce the general-admission seats and 6 of the 10 hospitality products

Daplast, a leading company in seating solutions for sports venues, is becoming a Stadium Partner of the Nou Mestalla, consolidating a key alliance that will enhance spectator comfort in the future Valencia CF stadium.

Through this agreement, the company will be the official supplier of seats for general admission and for 6 of the 10 Hospitality products, acting as a strategic partner in providing solutions and initiatives aimed at improving the fan experience through the installation of more than 69,000 of the stadium’s total 70,044 seats, as well as specialized furniture.

Daplast’s involvement in the Nou Mestalla guarantees the highest standards of quality, design, durability, and sustainability, strengthening the commitment to excellence and fan enjoyment in a venue that, from its inauguration in 2027, will be an international benchmark and a symbol of pride for the city.

KEY ELEMENTS OF THE EXPERIENCE IMPROVEMENT

Due to their characteristics and layout, the seats Daplast will install in the Nou Mestalla will significantly enhance the spectator experience compared to the seats in the current stadium: they are designed to offer maximum comfort while optimizing space, with an attractive design that meets the standards of a top-tier 21st-century stadium.

• MOBILITY AND ACCESS: The first major improvement is that the seats at the Nou Mestalla will be larger and individually foldable to optimize access, mobility and celebration space for fans. When folded, the seats will be compact and occupy only 20 cm, allowing a wider 65-centimetre circulation aisle (compared to the current Mestalla’s average of 35 cm), making it easier for fans to move to and from their seats.

• DISTANCE BETWEEN SPECTATORS: Another key improvement is the increase in the minimum lateral distance between spectators to 50 centimetres, compared to the current stadium’s average of 45 centimetres.

• ERGONOMIC DESIGN: The ergonomic seat design is intended to enhance spectator comfort while increasing durability. Daplast incorporates flexible materials and ensures mechanical strength, corrosion resistance, and moisture resistance, meeting the highest European standards. The materials used—including pigments and additives—are sustainable and cutting-edge, and the company has carried out a study to reproduce exactly the same Pantone colour used in the current Mestalla seats, with added value: greater UV-resistance in the finishes thanks to a new formula that will significantly reduce deterioration over time.

• CUSTOMIZATION: The seats will also be customized with different models and accessories, combining elegance, comfort and premium finish for the Hospitality areas such as the Suites, Gold Club, Silver Club, Bronze Club, restaurants, Diamond Club, and Presidential Club, helping enhance the overall spectator experience.

Javier Solís, General Director of Valencia CF: “This agreement marks another important step for the Nou Mestalla and consolidates our future home as a modern, top-tier project designed for Valencianistas. The partnership with Daplast, a leading company in the sector with extensive experience in major stadiums, will provide our fans with seats of the highest quality, comfort, durability and ergonomics.”

Rafael Pérez-Esparza, CEO of Daplast: “This project is an exciting challenge and, at the same time, a source of pride for Daplast. Joining Valencia CF in the construction of their new stadium strengthens our commitment to excellence and to improving the spectator experience in every seat.”
