B2B supplier to the automotive aftermarket

The company operates as a specialized B2B distributor of high-quality technical-chemical maintenance products for the automotive aftermarket (professional repair shops and maintenance companies) in the Netherlands, Belgium, and Luxembourg, with a distribution network in the Netherlands and growth potential throughout the Benelux region. In addition to product delivery, the company supports customers with technical expertise, commercial guidance, and a workshop service concept focused on process optimization, customer retention, cost reduction, and increased revenue.

Business Activities and Customer Base
The main customer segments are independent repair shops, dealerships (OEM-affiliated), truck and transportation repair shops, and motorcycle shops.

Strengths
The workshop service concept combines a carefully selected product range with a practical service organization that helps maintenance shops operate more efficiently and profitably, ensuring recurring revenue through consistent repeat purchases. The company has a long history and an established market position, featuring a broad product range, low overhead costs, and low marketing expenses, and operates through a stable and experienced distribution network built on long-term partnerships.

Key value drivers include exclusive distribution rights for the Netherlands, Belgium, and Luxembourg; a scalable business model requiring limited investment for further growth; rising gross margins and EBITDA; and a broad customer base that limits dependence on individual customers. Dependence on the shareholder is also limited, as only a relatively small portion of revenue is directly attributable to the owner.

Organization and Operations
The organization has low overhead, with 1.5 FTEs and 10 entrepreneurs handling distribution. Operations can be based from any location in the Netherlands or Belgium.

Opportunities and Growth Potential
The growth potential is based on several pillars: organic growth with existing distributors, expansion of the distribution network in the Netherlands, the establishment of a distribution network in Belgium and Luxembourg, and further market development.
