Family spirit

Our family background is at the core of our culture and therefore essential in the way we interact with our partners.

A key pillar of our philosophy is to build true and human relationships.

We aim to empower the entrepreneurs and managers we invest in with more than capital alone.

Entrepreneurial mindset

Entrepreneurship is part of our DNA. As entrepreneurs ourselves, we aim to share and champion this mindset across all our investments.

Patient capital

We thrive to build our success on our ability to invest over the long-term, accompanying businesses throughout their growth process.

We have no time constraints.

Our group capitalizes on its multigenerational family heritage dating back to the 1950s

Imocobel is the holding company of the founding family of Interparking. Initially created as a holding company for the family’s stake in Interparking, Imocobel has, since 2010, been partnering with entrepreneurs to diversify its activities across new ventures. Imocobel is still an active shareholder of Interparking.

Interparking was founded in 1958 by Claude De Clercq, it is now operating in nine European countries. After developing its car parking services in Belgium, they expanded across Europe. Today, they operate close to 1,000 sites in 415 European cities. Over the past six decades, they have grown to become one of the continent’s leading car park operators.

Yves De Clercq started working for the family business in the 1970s. He climbed the ladder and worked closely with his father, Claude, before being appointed CEO. Interparking owes most of its international development to Yves and Baudouin Ruquois, his brother-in-law.
