In 2024, SAGA Mercedes-Benz expanded to England with the acquisition of 10 dealerships, previously owned by Sparshatt Truck and Van and Motus Truck & Van. Today, SAGA has an international presence (in France, Belgium, England, Switzerland, Liechtenstein, and the Czech Republic) and represents 70% of the RCM group’s revenue.

RCM.

The RCM adventure began in 1999 thanks to Ronan Chabot, who opened the very first Toyota Toys Motors dealership in Vendée. Deeply attached to the region and its values, RCM expanded rapidly, first regionally, then across France, before crossing borders in 2019 and adding a new business: boating. Today, the group remains a French family company with a global outlook, distributing iconic brands like Mercedes-Benz, Toyota, Lexus, Porsche, Beneteau, Azimut, Galeon, and Highfield internationally (in France, Belgium, Switzerland, Liechtenstein, England, the Czech Republic, and Poland). Our values have been the same since day one: Passion, Performance, and Respect. In 2018, RCM was named France's top distributor of the year and in 2021 won the Family Saga award at the Grand Prix of Automotive Distribution.
