In 1982, François-Laurent Guignard founded the company VPouest. This marked the beginning of the first automotive auctions open to everyone.
In 1993, VPouest moved to a covered 15,000 m² site, its very first vehicle park, located in Caudan.
The first website was launched in 2003.
In 2005, VPouest expanded its business by creating VPtrans, a vehicle transport company.
VPouest entered the market for sales reserved exclusively for automotive professionals.
VPouest changed its name and became VPauto.
The service dedicated to automotive professionals is now called VPauto Pro.
VPauto diversified once again by creating Optim'Vo, a trade-in solution for dealer groups.
From 2014 onwards, sales were no longer limited to physical auctions, thanks to live online auctions on the website.
In 2016, a new website was launched, offering a more modern and intuitive experience.
VPauto entered into a partnership with the CAT Group, a European automotive logistics provider, which acquired a stake in VPauto.
2024 marks a year of transformation, as the vpauto.fr and vpauto.fr/pro websites were completely redesigned for a more modern look and feel.
