Clicars Expands with Second Facility in Spain
Portfolio | May 23, 2025 | Aim Group
Spain-based hybrid auto retailer Clicars has inaugurated its second reconditioning facility in Valencia, employing 50 people to enhance its production capacity of remanufactured cars. This expansion allows Clicars to improve delivery times across the Valencia region, the southern peninsula, and the Balearic Islands, reinforcing its dominant market position as Spain's largest seller of remanufactured cars with an annual reconditioning capacity of 30,000 vehicles. Clicars, a subsidiary of the French Aramis Group, aims to leverage its dual-factory setup to maintain its leadership in the national market. Aramis Group, reporting a revenue growth of 7.7% in Spain to 162 million euros in H1 FY2025, attributes this growth to a shift towards a hybrid retail model. The re-opening of the showroom in Valencia after a flood-induced closure and the strategic appointment of Anne Abboud to the board are parts of Aramis's broader growth strategy.
