Predator Group, a global leader in billiard cues, shafts, tables, and accessories, proudly announces the acquisition of Bilhares Carrinho, a heritage Portuguese manufacturer known for its craftsmanship and innovation in premium billiard table production.
Founded in 1962 and based in Anadia, Portugal, Bilhares Carrinho has built a reputation for producing competition-grade tables that blend tradition, design, and precision. With over six decades of expertise, the company serves both the professional and home markets across Europe and beyond, offering tailored solutions for clubs, players, and tournament organizers.
Karim Belhaj, CEO of Predator Group, commented: “Bilhares Carrinho brings incredible talent, heritage, and manufacturing know-how into our group. Their tradition of excellence and innovation is perfectly aligned with our mission to push the sport of billiards forward. Together, we’ll build faster, better, and closer to our European customers and fans.”
This acquisition strengthens Predator Group’s presence in Europe and adds a key manufacturing hub to its global operations. With facilities in the United States, Asia, and now Portugal, Predator becomes the only global brand that designs and produces its own cues, shafts, tables, and accessories under one umbrella—guaranteeing quality, consistency, and performance at every level.
Predator Group and Bilhares Carrinho share a deep-rooted commitment to the sport, a passion for craftsmanship, and a culture of service. Their integration will accelerate table innovation, enhance customer service across Europe, and further elevate the global billiards community.
António Carrinho, Director of Bilhares Carrinho, stated: “We are proud to become part of the Predator Group. This partnership honors our past and empowers our future. With shared values and a common vision, we are excited to bring even more value to players, clubs, and dealers across Europe.”
This milestone marks another step in Predator Group’s journey to deliver the ultimate playing experience.
