Verhelle & Rubias: Call us now the Cryns Group

Wednesday 12 Mar 2025

After a long career dedicated to his company, Verhelle & Rubias, Claude Verhelle decided it was time to hand over the reins. And who better than BestValue to help him achieve his goal! Here’s a look at the business transfer process of the Liège-based auto body shop.

Founded in Awans in 1980, Verhelle & Rubias has enjoyed an excellent reputation for decades. The company is particularly known for its personalized and friendly approach to a largely private clientele, which has helped it build a solid reputation.

After many years of involvement in the business, Claude Verhelle, one of the two founders, wanted to step away from the company to devote more time to his family. However, he was determined not to sell off the fruits of a lifetime of work. The ideal successor must be committed to maintaining the high-quality standards the body shop has upheld since its founding, as well as being sensitive to the personal and professional development of the group’s employees. Furthermore, the successor must be eager to invest in the company’s future.

Given his busy management schedule and realizing he lacked certain financial skills, Claude Verhelle sought the help of a group of experts to ensure a smooth transition. He entrusted BestValue with the task of transferring his company under the best possible conditions. Guided by the experts at BestValue, Mr. Verhelle confidently handed over his company to the Cryns Group, under the Damage brand, after a period of negotiations.

Both the buyer and Mr. Verhelle praised BestValue for its crucial role and professionalism throughout the acquisition process. Since the sale, completed in 2019, Verhelle & Rubias has become the eighth site of Cryns Carrosserie Center. Investments have been maintained at the site to ensure the sustainability of operations, an aspect that was particularly important to the founder, and to enable further expansion. The goal now is to attract a professional clientele.

We wish them all the best for the future!
