(Arval), which was announced earlier this year. Arval acquires 100% of the shares from its shareholders Royal Terberg Group and AutoBinck Group.

With this acquisition we diversify our product offering and gain a leading position in the private lease market in Belgium and the Netherlands. Diversification and strengthening our digital capabilities will accelerate our ambition to become a mobility partner, offering the optimal mix of mobility solutions to our clients. I am very pleased to join at this exciting time and become part of this growth journey. I look forward to the collaboration with Rogier and the colleagues of Arval Netherlands to support our clients and become a key player in sustainable mobility.”

Rogier van Ewijk, designated General Manager at Arval Netherlands comments: “The complementarity of our businesses unlocks new opportunities for clients and employees. The digital retail strategy of Arval will receive a strong impulse from adding the Justlease label and its market-leading e-commerce platform. By combining the innovation capability of our teams we will provide the market with new sustainable alternatives in vehicle rental, private lease, car sharing and mobility budgets. I look forward to, jointly with Andrea, advance the roll-out of the Arval Beyond strategy to improve and deploy sustainable mobility solutions in the Netherlands.”
