Beerens Groep NV

What Beerens Groep NV does

Beerens Groep NV is a privately held, family-controlled Belgian automotive group headquartered in Aartselaar (Antwerp region) that operates a vertically integrated stack of automotive services and retail brands. The group's core Belcar division provides end-to-end fleet and remarketing services — storage, transport, pre-delivery inspection, bodywork, cleaning, inspection and remarketing — to lease companies, vehicle constructors and importers, and fleet owners, processing more than 100,000 vehicles and transporting over 70,000 vehicles per year across approximately 300,000 m² of owned facilities anchored at the Aartselaar headquarters and the repurposed former General Motors site on Noorderlaan in Antwerp. Revenue is generated through professional services fees, used-car retail under the B² label (with 5-year warranty, 360° virtual tours, 30-day exchange rights and online financing), official Toyota and Nissan franchise dealerships across Greater Antwerp, short- and long-term rentals via B-Rent, premium and classic car sales via Quadriga, commercial van sales via Antilope VAN, and a vehicle auction channel launched in 2024 as Antwerp Auctions.

The group also operates adjacent businesses, including VDW Bikes (bicycle wholesale and e-bike distribution acquired in 2020) and Beerens Real Estate, and is a co-founder of the Belgian Green Building Council. Its proprietary Belcar EOC platform — launched in February 2024 to replace Belcar Online — offers lease and fleet customers API integrations, Power BI-based custom reporting and PEN-test-certified security for end-of-contract vehicle management. Beerens is family-controlled by the Beerens family (with the Aertssen family as co-controlling shareholder of the Stones NV acquisition vehicle), is led by CEO Erwin Beerens and COO Koen Van den Bergh, and pursues growth through facility expansion, franchise acquisitions, digital platform development and selective vertical diversification, most notably the September 2024 binding bid via Stones NV for control of SVK.
