First Entry Into the Japanese Market in Partnership With Twisted Group Limited
Since its establishment in 2011, the Valuence Group has focused on creating circular economies around the reuse business in Japan and overseas by encouraging the reuse of luxury brand goods, antiques, and art objects. In February 2023, Yone Motors became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Valuence Group. Yone Motors deals in new and used cars in Japan and overseas, and also performs maintenance services that include vehicle inspections and checkups at its own shops. In August 2023, Yone Motors signed an exclusive domestic distributorship agreement with Twisted Group Limited (North Yorkshire, England; Charles Fawcett, founder).
