Marlin to finance EVs

Small business commercial equipment financing specialist Marlin is partnering with Columbia Vehicle Group to offer financing options to Columbia’s customers.

Columbia Vehicle Group is a global provider of electric commercial utility and industrial work vehicles.

Finance options will be available through the manufacturer’s authorized dealer channel and national sales team, and the strategic alliance with Marlin is designed to speed up the approval process for purchases.

Mark Scardigli, chief sales officer for Marlin, said: “We are pleased to put Marlin’s extensive vendor finance program experience to work for Columbia’s dealer channel and customer base. We look forward to supporting Columbia’s sales efforts with our efficient, creative and competitive financing solutions.”

Columbia is part of the Nordic Group of Companies, a family-owned management and manufacturing business headquartered in Baraboo, Wisconsin with manufacturing operations extending throughout the US, Mexico and Europe.

Scott Breckley, president, Columbia Vehicle Group, said: “Columbia is excited to make these financing options available to our customers through the joint program with Marlin. The offering provides our dealers with additional tools to ensure mutual success with their customers.”
