Pioneer ofre-use

Our ambition: to position the circular economy at the heart of our business model. This began with the acquisition of Kruizinga in 2019, which offers a second-hand and rental service. In 2022, the acquisition of Zack, a start-up with expertise in electronics re-use, enabled us to go further by developing and integrating a collection and re-use service and extending it to other product categories. Since then, we have taken a major step forward by opening our Circular Hub...

Our integratedCircular Hub

Dedicated to the re-use of used professional furniture, it enables us to develop a second-hand offer for companies in the private and public sectors. We are the first player on the market to integrate such an activity into our model, from collection to second life, via sorting and refurbishment.
