Main Capital Partners Partners with CarCollect to Accelerate Growth

Main Capital Partners, a private equity firm based in the Netherlands, announces a strategic partnership with CarCollect, a cloud-based B2B automotive remarketing software platform headquartered in Roosendaal, Netherlands. The collaboration, announced on May 8, 2026, aims to accelerate CarCollect’s international expansion and enhance its product innovation capabilities.

Founded in 2012, CarCollect offers an integrated SaaS platform that digitizes the end-to-end used vehicle remarketing workflow. Its platform combines trade, transport, and stock management functionalities, covering vehicle intake, pricing, sales execution, transport coordination, settlement, and inventory management. CarCollect currently serves approximately 750 companies, including branded dealers, leasing firms, universal dealers, and fleet and rental companies across 10 European countries.

Built on a modern, cloud-native multi-tenant SaaS architecture, CarCollect supports 15 languages and 10 currencies, with over 14,000 automotive companies utilizing its platform. The company has processed more than one million vehicles through its software, providing a data-driven foundation that enables customers to optimize performance and accelerate decision-making.

Under the new partnership, the existing CarCollect management team will continue to lead the company, with Main Capital providing strategic support to drive faster international growth and product development. The partnership will focus on launching new features such as an enhanced stock management solution, expanding into new European markets, and pursuing selective acquisitions to complement organic growth.

Jeffrey Sanya, Investment Director at Main Capital Partners, said, “We are very excited to support CarCollect in executing its growth strategy and helping the business become the European market leader in automotive remarketing solutions. Our experience in the automotive software sector and confidence in CarCollect’s team position us well to accelerate product innovation and international go-to-market efforts.”

Lev van der Eng, Chief Commercial Officer at CarCollect, added, “This partnership strengthens our role as a connecting force in the European automotive market. It enables us to provide customers with deeper insights and more powerful tools, resulting in faster decision-making, higher returns, and accelerated growth.”

Stan Gelok, Chief Operating Officer at CarCollect, commented, “We are enthusiastic about partnering with Main Capital. Their expertise in software and international scaling aligns well with our long-term ambitions and will support the next phase of our growth.”

Main Capital Partners has a strong track record in software investments, particularly in automotive and SaaS sectors. This partnership leverages Main’s network and resources to support CarCollect’s expansion beyond its current footprint in 10 European countries.

The automotive remarketing software market is evolving rapidly, with increasing demand for digital solutions that streamline vehicle lifecycle management. CarCollect’s cloud-native platform and integrated approach position it well to capitalize on these trends. The partnership is expected to intensify competition in the European market, prompting rivals to enhance their offerings and expand geographically.

Financial terms of the partnership were not disclosed. CarCollect operates with a team of over 40 employees and maintains full in-house software development capabilities, enabling continuous innovation and rapid scaling.

Looking ahead, CarCollect plans to leverage Main Capital’s strategic support to accelerate product innovation, expand into new European markets, and explore selective acquisitions. The partnership aims to solidify CarCollect’s position as a leading provider of automotive remarketing software solutions across Europe.
