A successful sub-contractor for the French automotive industry was in a financial bind. The firm had already exhausted its capital expenditure budget, but still urgently needed a 150-ton injection moulding machine costing €158,000. Without the equipment it would be unable to meet delivery obligations. And, to complicate things even more, the machine would only be required for twelve months.

The company could not purchase the machine. And it was finding it impossible to locate a partner that was prepared to offer leasing terms of less than two years ... until it called on Deutsche Leasing France.

Thanks in part to our excellent relationship with the injection moulding equipment vendor, we were able to arrange a deal whereby the subcontractor committed himself to re-purchasing the machine after twelve months. We accepted the short-term lease and the lessee was able to take delivery without delay. This unique solution saved the lessee a lot of time and money. And, just as important, he was able to start producing the automotive parts quickly and delivered them on time.
