About Louwman & Parqui
The import of Toyota by Louwman & Parqui, now part of Louwman Group, started in 1964. It was a daring step at that time: after all, who would import cars from Japan? Toyota has now been famous for years as one of the most reliable car brands and is among the top three in terms of worldwide sales. As part of its multi-path strategy, Toyota offers a wide range of battery-electric, hydrogen-electric, plug-in hybrid and hybrid models across Europe. Since introducing the Toyota Prius in 1997, Toyota has sold more than 30 million electrified vehicles worldwide.
Luxurious little brother Lexus
The Dutch journey started with a single model: the LS 400. In its first year, 16 vehicles found their way to customers. Over the years, the line-up steadily expanded and the brand grew in popularity. The introduction of advanced hybrid powertrains played a key role in that success. Today, Lexus is recognised as a leading premium brand with an almost fully electrified range. Each model stands out for its refined engineering, superior craftsmanship and the exceptional comfort that defines Lexus.

Passion for cars
Since 1981, Louwman & Parqui’s headquarters and central showroom have been located in Raamsdonksveer, in the remarkable “Dome” designed by the American architect Richard Buckminster Fuller. This space without pillars shows off the cars to their fullest. Around 100 Louwman & Parqui colleagues work here with heart and soul for the Toyota and Lexus brands. Here, the concepts of service, reliability, tradition, careful business and passion for automobiles form the foundation.
“Working for a global brand at a family company, that's what makes our organisation unique.”
