Gehl Company and DeLage Landen Financial Services Announce Program Partnership

Gehl Co. is providing the financial solutions for clients and customers. Today Gehl is wholly owned subsidiary of Manitou BF SA and it’s flexing its manufacturing footprint with the help of De Lage Landen Financial Services Inc., announcing they have entered into a strategic partner program agreement to provide equipment finance services throughout the United States. The agreement will provide retail financing and dealer rental fleet financing programs.

“On behalf of the Gehl Company, we are extremely pleased to have created a partnership with De Lage Landen” states Daniel L. Miller, Gehl Co. president and CEO.  “De Lage Landen’s unique global footprint offers the potential for future expansion to include equipment finance solutions to our dealers and customers outside of North America.”

Effective, October 1, 2010 De Lage Landen Financial Services Inc. will offer tailored  loan and lease financing directly to registered U.S. Gehl and Mustang brand dealers and to end-user customers seeking equipment finance solutions.

The newly announced program will be communicated to all US dealers in mid September.

“De Lage Landen values this newly developed relationship with the Gehl Company and is confident the partnership will support their equipment sales throughout the United States. We look forward to the opportunity for future program expansion and growth with Gehl Company,” says Rod Versteegh, president of De Lage Landen’s Construction, Transportation and Industrial global business unit.
