Van Mossel Automotive Group has reached an agreement with the Boden family on the acquisition of Boden’s Opel garages in Tongeren and Hasselt. The acquired activities will be integrated into Van Mossel’s existing Peugeot & Citroën subsidiaries in Tongeren and Hasselt as of October 16.

Opel customers will now be helped by Van Mossel. We would like to thank them and our employees for their trust “For many years. We are convinced that they are in reliable hands with Van Moselle.”
