Aramis Group, operating through brands like Aramisauto, is a European leader in the online sale of new and refurbished used cars. Founded in 2001 by Guillaume Paoli and Nicolas Chartier, the company started in France with a digital-first approach to simplify car purchasing. The founders, with respective backgrounds in marketing at Unilever and export management, identified a need to modernize automotive retail for the consumer.
The company's business model is vertically integrated, encompassing online sales, vehicle trade-ins, and in-house vehicle refurbishment. It operates several industrial-scale refurbishment centers where used cars undergo extensive checks before being sold with a warranty. This model allows Aramis Group to control quality and offer competitive pricing. Revenue is primarily generated from the B2C sale of refurbished and pre-registered cars, supplemented by services like financing, insurance, and maintenance contracts. The company also generates revenue from the B2B resale of vehicles sourced from private individuals.
Aramisauto introduced several market-firsts in France, including a 24-hour vehicle trade-in service in 2010 and a "satisfied or refunded" guarantee in 2011. In 2016, a significant milestone was reached when Stellantis (formerly PSA Peugeot-Citroën) became the majority shareholder, forming a strategic alliance to boost online sales. This partnership fueled the company's European expansion, leading to the acquisition of Clicars in Spain (2017), Cardoen in Belgium (2018), CarSupermarket in the UK (2021), and operations in Austria and Italy. Aramis Group was listed on the Euronext Paris stock exchange in June 2021.
