History
editIn 1984, several FIAT dealers decided to create a wholesale cooperative to improve their purchase prices.
In 2000, PROMODIS, via its wholesaler CENTRADIS,[11] acquired the wholesaler and manufacturer of agricultural spare parts AGRIEST in the Haute-Saône of Eastern France.[12][13]
In 2006, the network already had 115 members in France, Spain, and Luxembourg, for a total of 300 "points of sale" employing 1,900 people, for "an economic weight of 915 million euros". The network was also developed in Poland in 2004.[13]
In 2007, the network was composed of "132 members of which 107 in France, 21 in Spain and a presence in Belgium, Lithuania and Poland".[14]
In 2009, the network had 410 points of sale in France with 2,000 employees and a turnover of about 1 billion euros. The company also expanded to Spain, Poland, Luxembourg, Switzerland and Lithuania.[15]
The corporation has launched an operation in May 2012 to reorganize and modernize its points of sale[2][16] in addition to the presentation of the new internet site.[17]
