About Louwman Group
Louwman Group is a family business established in 1923. We work based on our mission: the passion to move people. Customers, employees and society are central to all we do.
We want to offer them the best-fitting mobility. We live by five core values: customer driven, continuous improvement, feeling responsible, show courage and together we are Louwman. The Louwman Group activities are allocated across four divisions. There is also a group staff and the Louwman Museum.
At Louwman, 4,000 colleagues are active in four divisions across the Netherlands, Belgium, Sweden, and the Czech Republic.
With import companies for such automobile brands as Toyota, Lexus, Morgan and Suzuki, Louwman has been among the largest automobile distributors in Europe for decades. Motorcycles and outboard engines are also familiar sectors. The Louwman Dealer Group covers more than 50 retail locations.
But our passion to move people goes even further. As a provider of healthcare assistive aids and a specialist in adapting vehicles and residences, we, together with Welzorg, Mango Mobility and RSR Revalidatieservice, support customers with functional or mobility limitations.
In addition, our activities include those in the area of (private) leasing and financing, parts supply, logistics and real estate and we have our own Louwman Museum.
On this solid foundation, we are developing ourselves as a mobility provider in an increasingly broad perspective. For example, we opened auto.nl, a webshop for cars, and we think sustainably with CycloVriend and car-sharing company WeGo. And together with leading partners, Mobility Invest Group focuses on various transportation services in subscription form.
