DLL, a global vendor finance company, received the 2018 Vendor Finance Provider Award from Leasing Life, one of the top leasing industry journals in Europe, during the 14th Leasing Life Conference & Awards in Tallinn, Estonia.

This award recognizes an asset finance lessor that has worked in conjunction with a manufacturer to provide tailored asset finance at the point of sale. The essence of success is building strong and successful partnerships that add clear value to both sides. It’s the second time in three years that DLL has been recognized with this award, which is a validation of its strategy.

“DLL was commended this year for its consistently high level of engagement with its vendor partners, high volumes and the innovative Pay Per Use models. DLL distinguishes itself by its approach, its organization, its methodologies and its asset management capabilities, that aren’t seen anywhere else.”

Bill Stephenson, CEO and chairman of Executive Board, stated: “We are very pleased and proud to win the Vendor Finance Provider Award and want to thank Leasing Life. In 2019, DLL will celebrate its 50th anniversary of working with market leading manufacturers, distributors and dealers who choose to partner with us around the world. This award is a wonderful recognition of our efforts to develop transformative products, supported by innovative digital technologies and delivered by our engaged and skilled workforce. We will continue to build on this foundation, so that our partners enjoy a first-class customer experience for many years ahead.”

DLL’s vendor finance value proposition consists of five key elements, which enable the company to provide the solutions that its vendor partners need to boost their business and grow their market share. DLL is the only fully specialized and truly dedicated global Vendor Finance company in the market and has built its vendor finance business model around the concepts of market segmentation and specialization. The historical focus has been on a fixed number of defined equipment segments. DLL always seeks to become an integral part of the vendor partner’s overall business strategy and financial plans. One of the companies’ guiding principles is that it will only enter into partnerships where they know that they can offer sustainable win-win solutions for both parties.

Leasing Life Conference and Awards annually brings together asset finance professionals and industry experts for an active discussion on the key issues facing the leasing industry. The fourteenth annual conference and awards saw senior leaders in the European leasing industry join for a day’s conference followed by an evening awards program.
