Our history

In the late nineties the national market came in an acceleration. Lease and Insurance companies appealed more and more to centrally directed body shop networks. In short time many chain versions came into the market. ABS Autoherstel Netherlands in her current role was founded in April 2004. A strong cooperative background combined with the desire to create a strong position in these new revenue flows resulted in a very strong market position by 2011.  

ABS Autoherstel did manage to realise a strong growth but gained experience in managing and shaping the ABS Concept as well. In this model the body shops have a high degree of control but on the other hand they have created a strong formula in which they are imposed on the necessary transparency and obligations to deal with the national clients.

Currently is ABS Autoherstel Netherlands with her 97 body shops the market leader in the Dutch market, with approximately 2000FTE. Each entrepreneur has a strong history and estimated 50 years experience, which means that ABS Autoherstel has combined together with all the body shops more than 5.000 years experience!
