ConformGest Strengthens Footprint with Autoplus Acquisition

In a strategic move, ConformGest, a company dedicated to after-sales services in the used vehicle sector and backed by private equity firm Vam Investments, has acquired Autoplus. Autoplus specializes in managing conventional guarantees and legal compliance guarantees for professional used vehicle dealers. This acquisition is expected to consolidate ConformGest's national presence and enhance its operational know-how, integrating Autoplus's specific expertise, particularly in telemarketing. This aligns with Vam Investments' strategy of constructing a European leader in the fragmented post-sales guarantees segment. Vam, which gained a majority stake in ConformGest alongside the founding Pinzano family in 2023, aims to boost ConformGest's revenue above €40 million by 2025 through strategic acquisitions like RPM Garantie and Fidelitycar. ConformGest CEO Corrado Pinzano and Luca Amedeo Masobello, Investment Director at Vam, both express optimism about the reinforced market position and synergies expected from this acquisition. Meanwhile, Autoplus's founder Marcello Rossi acknowledges the opportunity for growth within a structured organization like ConformGest.
