This inauguration is part of the Group's strategy to increase its refurbishment capacity in order to support the strong revenue growth in this segment (+42.1% in 20211).

Nicolas Chartier and Guillaume Paoli, co-founders2 of Aramis Group, say: "The opening of this fourth centre marks a new stage in the Group's development. It is a fundamental part of Aramis Group's strategy to increase its reconditioning capacity in order to offer its customers reliable and affordable cars, and unparalleled satisfaction. This new centre in Antwerp integrates the Group's best know-how and demonstrates its ambition to offer a more virtuous model of individual mobility through its refurbished vehicles."

Aramis Group intends to continue expanding its refurbishment capacity with the opening of two additional centres in Europe in the coming months, in Nemours (France) and Hull (United Kingdom).
