Let's start here in Germany: Deutsche Leasing AG (DL) – the undisputed market leader in the manufacturer-independent leasing business – wants to further expand its market position in factoring. The strategy is called acquisition – namely of the Bremen-based Deutsche Factoring Bank. This was announced by the company in a press release.
(Some) market participants
Just three years ago, in June 2012, Deutsche Leasing AG swallowed WestLB's factoring business, Universal Factoring (UFG). An obvious business, after all, just like DL, UFG was aimed primarily at savings bank customers. In addition, leasing customers are also potential factoring customers – a promising synergy that seems to have paid off and even allows for further growth opportunities.
