BNP Paribas Leasing Solutions and Esaote, one of the world’s leading manufacturers of medical diagnostic systems, announced an international partnership. The finance solutions provided by BNP Paribas Leasing Solutions will allow Esaote to offer its customers an easier access to their innovative equipment.
Esaote, a company based in Genoa, Italy, had been working with the Italian teams of BNP Paribas Leasing Solutions since 2008. Given the long-standing, solid partnership in this country, they decided to extend it to the 19 countries (among which Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Spain, Switzerland, Turkey, United Kingdom) where they operate to serve their customers in all those geographies but also where they have an indirect sales model. As part of this partnership, BNP Paribas Leasing Solutions will be the strategic finance partner of their authorized local resellers, providing them different solutions such as financial and operating lease.
These solutions will facilitate access to the equipment developed, manufactured and distributed by Esaote, which mostly includes medical imaging equipment like for ultrasounds and MRIs, combined with complementary Healthcare IT solutions.
“Thanks to our open innovation strategy, we constantly improve our offer to respond to our customers’ demand for high quality innovative products. Now, with BNP Paribas Leasing Solutions, we will be able to provide all this with an affordable finance plan, allowing our customers to upgrade their equipment while optimizing their cash flow, said Franco Fontana, CEO of Esaote.
“New technologies have the potential to significantly improve how healthcare is delivered and received. However, these innovations are not always immediately affordable. We are happy, at BNP Paribas Leasing Solutions, to offer dedicated finance solutions that make it easier for health professionals to access this equipment, that in turn, will improve the patients’ experience and care,” said Charlotte Dennery, CEO of BNP Paribas Leasing Solutions.
