Gloriant is a software and services company focusing on fleet & mobility management. With more than 100,000 units (cars/drivers) under management, the company is the market leader in the Benelux. The company with headquarters in Antwerp and office in Rotterdam employs about 30 people.

In order to accelerate the company’s international growth, shareholders Gert Vandersmissen (CEO) and Arnoud Oortwijk (CIO) were looking for a value-added acquirer, which they found in the Dutch group Autobinck, active in a broad spectrum of products and services in the automotive and mobility market. Autobinck operates in 8 European countries.

Gert Vandersmissen says : “Bringing Gloriant into the Autobinck group puts our company with a company from the European top 20 in the mobility market, and guarantees the further expansion of the company and puts our employees with a specialist where they are part of the core business”. Arnoud Oortwijk adds : ” the mutual synergies are legion and already in the short term important new customer relationships will result from this. also the Autobinck activities will benefit from the activities of Gloriant”. SDM-Valorum Corporate Finance approached players in the mobility market on 3 continents and together with Gert and Arnoud came to the conclusion that Autobinck had the best assets to go into the future together. Both shareholders remain on board to further lead Gloriant within the Autobinck group.
