“Equipment leasing in Austria enjoyed its highest growth rate in the latest figures published in the Global Leasing Report, with an increase in new business volume of over 18%. Overall leasing volume, including real estate, has more than doubled in the last 10 years. What’s more, Austria is the number one investor in the CEE countries.

White Clarke Europe announces official opening of Austrian operational base in historic city of Vienna.

Today's announcement underlines the group's international expansion strategy and its philosophy to ‘Think global. Act local’.
     

Peter Kainradl, Managing Director White Clarke Europe, says "The group is headquartered in the UK, with regional offices in North America, Australasia and Germany. We have already developed a strong client base in Austria, so Vienna has been a natural choice for our next European location.

The city is at the heart of the country's financial services market and provides excellent access to the CEE region. The dynamic rate of growth in Austria's economy has ensured that it is becoming an important marketplace for leasing in Central and Eastern Europe."

White Clarke Germany also announces a new cooperative agreement with Harald Haider, a prominent consultant with over 30 years experience in the Austrian leasing market.  Mr Haider will operate from the new offices in Vienna, and provide initial support and consulting services to White Clarke’s Austrian client base.

      "The company now has a strong customer base within mainland Europe and is fast becoming the pan-European supplier of choice,” says Peter Kainradl. We are making significant investments in getting closer to customers and plan to open further locations in Spain, Italy and the CEE countries."
