EFI and DLL enter European finance program agreement for inkjet printers

DLL is a global financial options partner working in agriculture, food, healthcare, clean technology, transportation, construction, industrial equipment and office technology. DLL delivers integrated financial products to support the asset life cycle from leasing, vendor and commercial finance to remarketing. DLL's 5,500 members support its partners in more than 35 countries. The company is a fully owned subsidiary of Rabobank Group.

The agreement, which covers EFI equipment sales in many European countries, will provide customers with new rental and leasing opportunities for EFI's VUTEk, Jetrion, Cretaprint, Quantum, Reggiani and Nozomi digital printer product lines. As well as labels and packaging, this covers signage and graphics, industrial textile and ceramic tile production. With the new agreement currently in effect, customers can now apply for lease financing through DLL to acquire products from EFI's portfolio.

Marc Olin, EFI chief financial officer, said: ‘Access to finance is an important requirement for growth in our industries, and making financing solutions available to our customers worldwide has been an important objective for EFI. The rental and leasing options in Europe available through the new program are a welcome development to help our customers with their business decision to acquire our products.’

James Ryan, new business development manager within DLL's Office Technology global business unit, added: ‘At DLL, we are excited by the growing possibilities of digital printing. We look forward to helping EFI's customers acquire these new technology solutions as well as the future innovations that lie ahead.’

EFI intends to further develop the range of financial service offerings available to customers across the rest of the EMEA region.
