Acquis expands in France with new Paris office

Acquis, a provider of equipment financing insurance programs, has announced the opening of a new office in Paris to strengthen its presence in France. This move aims to support the growing demand for equipment leasing and financial rental solutions in the country.

The strategic investment builds on more than a decade of Acquis’ commercial presence in France and reflects the company’s commitment to addressing the evolving needs of French businesses. According to a recent Acquis study, 43% of French companies now view leasing or financial leasing as their primary method of equipment financing, up 10 percentage points compared to 2023.

Martin Lehnert, Sales Director Europe at Acquis, noted that:

“The opening of our office in Paris is part of a close approach to our French clients, who are often global players, like Acquis, with rapidly changing needs in a demanding economic context.”

To lead the new Paris operations, Frédéric Guez has been appointed Regional Manager for France and Benelux.

With extensive experience in the insurance sector at GE Capital and Meilleurtaux, Guez will focus on developing Acquis’ business in France, driving revenue growth, structuring local teams, and forging strategic partnerships. He will also oversee operations in Belgium, the Netherlands, and Luxembourg, reporting directly to Lehnert.

In addition, Cyrille Mascaud has been named Sales Manager for France.

Working closely with Guez, Mascaud will be responsible for identifying new market opportunities, strengthening relationships with finance and leasing companies, and supporting key accounts in their transformation projects.

“With the arrival of Frédéric Guez and Cyrille Mascaud, we are structuring an experienced and agile team, fully committed to supporting the growth of our partners,” added Lehnert.
