Agorastore has acquired Via Mobilis

October 2024 — Agorastore has acquired Via Mobilis, a European platform for buying and selling used industrial vehicles and equipment. This transaction enables Agorastore to broaden its offerings, integrating Via Mobilis’ specialized expertise in digital classified listings across sectors like heavy trucks, construction and agriculture. With this acquisition, Agorastore solidifies its presence in the European circular economy, expanding the resale options available to clients across multiple industries.

Agorastore is the leading online auction platform for second-hand goods from local authorities, public organizations and large companies. The platform enables these entities to organize online auctions for their assets, allowing bidders to acquire and repurpose items that are currently underutilized, giving them a second life.

Via Mobilis is a key player in the industrial vehicle market, offering innovative web solutions to support professional buyers and sellers across more than 40 countries and four sectors: trucks, construction, handling and agriculture.

Our role in the transaction

Oaklins’ team in France advised Agorastore on its build-up strategy, leading to the acquisition of Via Mobilis.
