Amur Equipment Finance recently celebrated its 30th anniversary, marking three decades of relationship building across the commercial equipment landscape and community building in its hometown of Grand Island, Nebraska.
From its Nebraska roots, Amur has grown an innovative independent equipment finance company. Today, it serves a 3,000-strong vendor network and has provided over $7.6 billion in financing since its founding.
“Over the past 30 years, we have had the privilege of serving over 145,000 businesses. We’re incredibly proud and privileged to make that many dreams come true,” Kalyan Makam, CEO of Amur, said. “We are a company of builders, and our passion is building a company that makes equipment financing simple so that our customers can succeed.”
Amur commemorated the milestone with a week of events in Grand Island, welcoming employees from across the country to celebrate, culminating in a 30th anniversary party right outside the company’s headquarters at Amur Plaza in downtown Grand Island.
The week placed Amur’s people at the center of the celebration, a record number of whom received recognition for significant tenure milestones. Their dedication and expertise is critical in allowing Amur to deliver the customer experience that distinguishes it in the equipment finance marketplace.
“Amur is built by its people,” Makam said. “We are grateful to everyone who has grown with us, trusted us and played a role in our journey. Together, we look forward to building something truly great over the next 30 years.”
