SUPERIOR, CO – April 21, 2014 – Key Equipment Finance, one of the nation’s largest bank-held equipment finance companies and an affiliate of KeyCorp (NYSE: KEY), today announced that it has been selected as the finance partner of Winncom Technologies. Winncom Technologies is a worldwide distributor and provider of complete networking solutions.
Through the partnership with Key Equipment Finance, customers in the U.S. and Canada purchasing both wired or wireless networking solutions through Winncom’s direct sales team or channel network will be able to take advantage of flexible financing options as part of the sales process. This means Winncom customers can maintain maximum flexibility and protect against equipment obsolescence while obtaining the company’s networking solutions with little or no cash down.
“Winncom is at the forefront of the global technology marketplace. This is a company that is known both for its industry expertise and its customer support,” said Scott Sullivan, senior vice president of technology finance at Key Equipment Finance. “The addition of one, comprehensive finance program further demonstrates the company’s commitment to designing solutions with its customers’ budgets and business needs in mind. I’m confident that Winncom will experience even greater customer satisfaction as customers begin taking advantage of this financing program for their networking equipment needs.”
Winncom noted its long-standing relationship as a KeyBank customer, as well as Key Equipment Finance’s reputation as a leader in technology finance, as primary reasons for selecting the company as its equipment finance partner.
“We’ve had great success with financing in the past, but we have always offered it on an ad hoc basis through various finance partners,” said Vladimir Federoff, chief financial officer of Winncom. “I’m excited to be creating one unified, comprehensive equipment finance program that we can consistently offer to each and every client, and I’m looking forward to deepening our relationship with Key through this partnership.”
