Our family business was officially launched when we began selling Mercedes at the AutoPalace in The Hague.
1930
Expansion portfolio
We expanded our portfolio to include the Czech brand ŠKODA. Auto sales would increase significantly in the years that followed!
1950
Relocation to the Binckhorstlaan
The move to the new, modern office on the Binckhorstlaan in The Hague was perfectly aligned to our growth and ambitions in the post-war period.
1969
International brand
Rolf Lauret introduced Mazda in the Netherlands. This was how we got our start as importer of a major international brand.
1980
Big expansion
AutoBinck grew rapidly and our headquarters grew, too. A portion of the harbour was drained to accommodate a major expansion of the building.
1990
Ambition outside the Netherlands
Our ambition led us to expand beyond the Netherlands. The first step was to begin importing Mazda cars into the Czech Republic and Slovakia. We then expanded our import and retail activities to include multiple Central European countries. With that, a much larger geographic footprint became a reality for us.
1996
First step in the lease market
With the acquisition of Business Lease, we took our first step in the lease market – an important measure aimed at diversifying our portfolio. Business Lease quickly established branches in a number of Central European countries as well.
1999

The acquisition of the Hyundai importership for the Netherlands provided a massive boost to our car import and retail division. In the years that followed, AutoBinck also gained authorisation to import Hyundai vehicles into various countries in Central Europe.
2000

Mitsubishi
A new brand was added to our import activities: Mitsubishi, in both the Czech Republic and Slovakia.
2008
Loss Mazda Importship
To our sorrow, we lost our Mazda importership after 40 successful years when the manufacturer decided to manage their own imports across all of Europe.
2011
Expansion of activities
We expanded our activities to Hungary. We also continued to expand our brand portfolio by obtaining distribution rights for Jaguar, Land Rover and Range Rover.
2014
New office
After almost sixty years, we exchanged the building on the Binckhorstlaan for a new office at the Forepark in The Hague. This year, Brezan was once again quite active in acquisitions and, in the years that followed, turnover grew to some €300 million annually.

Trend break with the past
A strategic interest in The New Motion represents a break with the past. In search of new forms of mobility, a first investment will also be made in the car sharing platform SnappCar in that year.

office WTC Utrecht and sales parts division
After a period of solid growth, we decide to sell our Parts division. In that year Business Lease Nederland also enters into a joint venture with Terberg Leasing and together they form the Terberg Business Lease Group. With the move to our new office in the World Trade Center in Utrecht, we also leave The Hague in that year.
2020
Sustainable future
A busy year. We take over XXImo, we join Toogethr and make a first investment in SafeDrivePod. We are also launching AutoBinck Car Trade.

This enables us to respond even better to a sustainable future with our smart solutions for mobility and energy.
