ElmBlue Equipment Finance, a provider of commercial equipment-financing solutions, and Skandacor, North America’s leading supplier of print finishing equipment and supplies, announced a strategic vendor financing partnership. The collaboration enables Skandacor’s customers across the United States to access fast, flexible equipment financing directly through Skandacor’s sales process.
Under the partnership, Skandacor’s customers will have access to ElmBlue’s full suite of financing solutions when purchasing laminating systems, binding equipment, die cutters, folding machines and other print finishing technology. ElmBlue’s embedded finance tools will be integrated into Skandacor’s sales workflow to help customers understand monthly payment options and move forward with equipment purchases more quickly.
The partnership reflects both companies’ commitment to helping print shops grow their businesses. Skandacor has built a reputation over more than 30 years as a trusted partner to print finishing operations, offering not just equipment and supplies but deep industry expertise and responsive customer service. ElmBlue brings a technology-driven approach to equipment finance, with fast credit decisions, transparent terms, and dedicated vendor support teams that operate as an extension of the dealer’s sales force.
“Skandacor is exactly the kind of partner we look for — a company that genuinely cares about their customers’ success and understands that access to financing is a critical part of the equipment buying decision,” said Paul Reny, Vice President of Sales. “By embedding our financing tools directly into Skandacor’s sales process, we’re making it easier for print shops to invest in the finishing equipment they need to grow, compete, and take on new work.”
“Our customers are looking for a seamless way to acquire the equipment that will help them expand their capabilities and serve their own clients better,” said Jon Congdon, VP of Sales at Skandacor. “Partnering with ElmBlue gives our customers access to competitive financing with a team that understands the equipment industry. It’s an important addition to how we support print shops across North America.”
Key benefits of the partnership for Skandacor customers include: competitive fixed rates with flexible terms from 24 to 60 months; fast credit decisions, often within the same business day; financing available for new and used print finishing equipment; the ability to bundle multiple equipment purchases into a single financing arrangement; and potential tax advantages through Section 179 deductions on qualifying equipment.
