Century Tokyo Leasing Corporation was launched through the merger of Tokyo Leasing Co., Ltd., Japan’s pioneering leasing company, and Century Leasing System, Inc., a leasing venture with the combined strengths of a trading company and a financial institution. This integration of business partners representing a broad array of related fields, from trading companies and financial institutions to real estate companies, affords a distinct advantage that we can leverage to develop a new financing business. While providing advanced, high value-added services with greater functionality, we will at the same time address the global leasing and financing needs associated with our customers overseas business strategies.
Today, in the face of intensified competition arising from a dramatically evolving industrial structure and globalization, the leasing business must move beyond simply providing a channel for capital investment; it must now play a greater strategic role in facilitating efficient corporate management. As a leasing company at the center of a financial and operating enterprise, we will be able to generate new businesses by responding to the diversifying needs of customers in these turbulent times.
We are committed to growing together with our customers and to contributing to society as a comprehensive, solutions-oriented financing service with the impetus for providing flexible services only available through a non-banking business and by pursuing innovative business models. We will also strive to maintain our position as an attractive corporate group for our stakeholders by both expanding our business scope and enhancing quality in our operations. We look forward to your continued patronage and encouragement.
