PEAC Solutions was recently named a Market Leader in the Industrial & Manufacturing asset class, ranking among the top 20 lenders/lessors by new business volume. We sat down with the firm to talk strategy, technology, and what’s next for the industry.
What factors do you attribute to this strong performance?
PEAC Solutions’ continued strong performance this year has been driven by innovative and flexible financing programs, strategic investments in digital technology, and a strong commitment to customer and partner service. Backed by solid capital markets execution and deep industry expertise, PEAC has focused on growing its presence in equipment-heavy sectors, including commercial, industrial, and construction assets, while expanding our partner relationships and specialized financing programs.
How does PEAC Solutions differentiate itself in the highly competitive industrial and manufacturing equipment financing space?
Our competitive advantage starts with our people. We bring together exceptional expertise and advanced digital solutions to create a differentiated experience that drives value for our partners and enhances every customer interaction.
What trends are currently shaping your industrial and manufacturing financing strategy?
The strategy can no longer be focused primarily on providing capital for equipment purchases. Customers now prioritize investments creating productivity gains and cash flow enhancement, and expect financing that matches the new equipment lifecycles.
How are the needs of industrial and manufacturing customers evolving, and how is PEAC Solutions adapting to meet them?
The financing experience has become a key competitive differentiator. Today’s industrial and manufacturing customers expect convenient, digital interactions at every touchpoint. PEAC empowers its partners with innovative technology solutions that deliver a seamless financing experience, from application through portfolio management, creating value for both partners and customers.
Can you share an example of a recent deal or financing solution that demonstrates PEAC Solutions’ approach to serving this market?
A recent collaboration with a national commercial truck provider highlights this approach, as we designed a customized program that integrated flexible financing, remarketing support, and operational efficiencies into a seamless solution. By aligning the program with the partner’s business strategy and growth objectives, we helped create new opportunities to drive sales, strengthen customer relationships, and unlock long-term value.
How has technology — from credit decisioning to asset and equipment management tools — changed the way you work with industrial and manufacturing customers?
Technology has reshaped the way PEAC serves industrial and manufacturing customers by creating a financing experience that is faster, more intuitive, and better aligned with the way businesses operate today. Our ongoing investments in digital capabilities have streamlined the path from application to funding, while upholding the disciplined risk management practices that have always been central to our approach. With greater insight into equipment performance and lifecycle trends, customers can make more informed decisions about their assets.
What role do partnerships (with equipment dealers, OEMs, or other industry players) play in PEAC Solutions’ industrial and manufacturing business?
Partnerships are at the heart of our industrial and manufacturing business. We work closely with equipment dealers, OEMs, and other industry participants to embed financing into the equipment sales process. The strongest partnerships go beyond transactions; they involve collaboration on program design, digital integration, customer onboarding, and workflow optimization.
How does your risk management approach adapt to the unique cycles and challenges of the industrial and manufacturing sector?
The industrial economy is cyclical, so our job isn’t to avoid cycles, it’s to understand them. We combine deep industry knowledge, strong credit discipline, and close partnerships with dealers and OEMs to help customers grow while managing risk through every phase of the market.
Looking ahead to 2027, what opportunities and challenges do you see for industrial and manufacturing financing, and how is PEAC Solutions preparing for them?
We see significant opportunities driven by continued investment in equipment modernization, automation, digital transformation, and infrastructure-related growth. At the same time, the industry must navigate ongoing challenges including economic uncertainty, interest rate volatility, and supply chain pressures. PEAC is preparing by investing in digital onboarding and credit workflows, strengthening partner relationships, and maintaining disciplined risk management and underwriting practices.
