Rhenoy

What Rhenoy does

Rhenoy B.V. (operating as Rhenoy Onderdelen B.V.) is a Netherlands-based automotive parts group headquartered in Waardenburg that supplies used, refurbished, and new auto parts to the European aftermarket. The group operates multiple divisions from a 38,000 m² facility: Rhenoy Parts (used and refurbished parts with ISO 9001 and KZD*** certified processes), Approved Green (a European brand standardizing used, refurbished, and new technical parts), TSC Waardenburg (a technical service center handling complex repairs and major component replacement such as engines, gearboxes, turbos, and diesel systems), Rhenoy Cars (direct purchase of damaged vehicles from private individuals and car sales), and the 123Autoparts and Stockoffer online channels. The group is a wholly owned subsidiary of LKQ Europe GmbH following its February 2023 acquisition.

The group's core technology is a quality-controlled automotive parts supply chain: young damaged vehicles are dismantled on-site to replenish a 250,000+ SKU inventory, parts are graded (used, refurbished, or new), refurbished parts pass through a dedicated revision process, and inventory is exposed to buyers via a multilingual (Dutch, English, German) parts webshop and direct phone, email, and WhatsApp sales. Controlled origin tracking and ISO 9001 / KZD*** certification underpin the Approved Green quality brand, which the company markets to dealer-independent auto businesses across Europe.

Rhenoy generates revenue across seven streams: used parts sales, refurbished parts sales, new parts sales, car dismantling services, direct purchase of damaged cars from individuals, technical repair services for leasing companies and fleet owners, and export of parts batches. Pricing is quote-based and per transaction rather than a published price list. The go-to-market is hybrid: a B2B sales-led motion serving leasing companies, fleet owners, and independent auto businesses through field and inside sales, plus a B2C motion allowing private individuals to sell damaged cars directly via an online form. Since the February 2023 acquisition, Rhenoy operates within the European salvage and remanufacturing strategy of LKQ Corporation, one of the largest automotive parts distributors globally.
