From June 1st, ALD Automotive will provide white-labeled operational leasing services for Mazda’s entire range of leasing products in the country.

We are confident our cooperation will be a success”. This new agreement reinforces the existing successful partnership between the two companies as ALD Automotive also provides full service leasing services for Mazda through its dealership networks in Spain and Italy. As a pioneer in the partnership approach for full service leasing, ALD Automotive now has over 120 agreements in place with 10 car manufacturers in 31 countries and over 25 banking partners in 17 countries. “We are pleased to be supporting Mazda in the diversification of its mobility offering for its customers, confirms Adrian Porter, Head of Partnerships at ALD, “and look forward to helping them grow their business in the coming years as a valuable partner.” ALD Automotive has been operating in the Netherlands for 16 years and manages over 42,000 vehicles.
