Minoli 65th Anniversary – Client Stories – Renault Group

We’re showcasing some of the long-standing business relationships that Minoli enjoy, as we mark the 65^th anniversary of the company’s incorporation in 1960.

In a relationship spanning four decades, Minoli have supplied Renault Group and their Retailer Network with specialist porcelain tiles for their showrooms, customer facilities and workshops, to support the consistent application of their brand guidelines.

“Minoli have proved to be trusted partners for over 40 years, delivering specialist porcelain tiles to realise several iterations of our retail identity”.

The relationship has seen us deliver to literally hundreds of Renault new build and refurbishment sites and we are delighted to have the latest Minoli series of porcelain tiles specified by Renault within the new’R Store Corporate Identity for 2025 and beyond.

With the ‘Renaulution’ strategic plan, Renault has embarked on an ambitious, value-generating transformation, moving towards a more competitive, balanced and electrified range. Its ambition is to embody modernity and innovation in technology, energy and mobility services in the automotive industry and beyond.

The new’R Store concept reimagines the customer experience by placing vehicles at the heart of the facility in what is referred to as the ‘Exhibition Space’, allowing visitors to move freely and explore each model from different angles. This immersive approach highlights the vehicles in a spacious, streamlined environment.

As the perfect platform on which to showcase Renault’s award-winning line-up of vehicles, Minoli’s specialist automotive series are specified for the Showroom floor, the Service Reception, After Sales, Walkways and Handover Bay areas, and as cladding for feature panels on showroom walls.

To complete the comprehensive design scheme, tile specifications from Minoli’s product portfolio are also provided for customer restrooms, workshop floors and walls, and Dacia showrooms, where multi-brand or stand-alone representation is present.

Rob James, Manager – Facilities Development at Renault Group, said of the relationship with Minoli,

“Automotive retailing is an incredibly competitive marketplace, so we need suppliers that are in tune with our industry and understand the importance of consistent brand representation through our retail network. Minoli have proved to be trusted partners for over 40 years, delivering specialist porcelain tiles to realise several iterations of our retail identity.

“They have the industry knowledge to professionally represent us when liaising with dealers, motor groups, architects and installers and their working practices and reliable delivery capability makes them easy to do business with. Importantly, by holding sizeable stocks of our specified tile series, Minoli ensure a rapid, on-call supply line so that our retail operators and contractors can proceed smoothly through the build programme of new and refurbished facilities.”

Our thanks must go to Rob and all the team at Renault Group for specifying tiles from Minoli’s collections in their dealership retail identity programmes for so many years, and you can explore the latest Renault cars and vans on their website, here: www.renault.co.uk
