History

"Deutsche Leasing GmbH", Germany's first leasing company, was entered in the Commercial Register in Düsseldorf in 1962. The two other predecessor companies of Deutsche Leasing "Maschinen-Miete GmbH" and "Mietdienst GmbH" were founded some time later. In 1971, these three companies merged to form Deutsche Leasing AG. Until 1991 the founder of "Maschinen-Miete GmbH", Albrecht Dietz, was Chairman of the Board of the new company.[3]

Deutsche Leasing is today the largest manufacturer-independent leasing company in Germany.[4]

Products

Deutsche Leasing's first leasing object and therefore the first leasable investment in Germany was a 1962 Sweda cash register. Today, Deutsche Leasing AG offers a full range of leasing services, in both the movables and real-estate markets:[5]
