FCA Bank, through its subsidiary Leasys, has bought the Aixia group in France.
Aixia is a company active in the short-term rental sector and manages brands such as Rent&Drop, which deals with one-way rental of commercial vehicles, and Rentiz, for the short-term rental of premium segments, minibuses and microcars.
Leasys and Aixia have signed an agreement which provides for the sale of 100% of the French company to Leasys. The operation should be completed by the end of March and lead to a rebranding of the transalpine group.
Thanks to this acquisition, FCA Bank continues to expand its business "in the context of new mobility through Leasys" becoming "among the leading rental and mobility operators in Europe, confirming its important role as an all-round mobility operator also in France,” reads the company note.
“The achievement of this agreement – says Giacomo Carelli, CEO of FCA Bank and president of Leasys – further strengthens our role as leader in all-round mobility in France and Europe. The Aixia group represents excellence in short-term rental and will allow Leasys to carve out an even more significant role for itself as a global and integrated player in mobility, in particular hybrid and electric, thanks to the new FCA products, expanding its fleet and services innovative for customers".
"The assumption of control by Leasys - underlines the president and founder of the Aixia group, Jean-Claude Facques - represents a magnificent opportunity for the companies that are part of the Aixia group, as our teams will have new means to continue the work undertaken since the birth of the group, both in terms of innovation and IT services or developments”.
