What Olinn Group does

Olinn Group is a French-based professional equipment leasing and lifecycle management company, wholly owned by Crédit Agricole Leasing & Factoring. Headquartered in Montrouge with 12 agencies across France, Belgium, Switzerland, and Luxembourg, Olinn operates three core subsidiaries — Olinn IT (IT equipment leasing), Olinn Finance (financial leasing), and Olinn Services (automobile/mobility) — alongside a 5,000+ m² IT refurbishment facility in Lunel-Viel that has processed over 4 million devices with an >85% reuse rate. The company serves businesses and public sector organizations across six equipment verticals (IT, mobile, automotive, medical, industrial, construction/TP).

The core offering is 'Location évolutive' (LLD), a long-term rental model covering 12–72 months that wraps equipment sourcing, financing, maintenance, fleet management, and end-of-life refurbishment into a single contract. Revenue is generated through recurring lease payments, one-time refurbished equipment sales (up to 70% below new-equipment prices), sales financing spreads earned through partner manufacturers and distributors, and à la carte operational services (audit, deployment, masterization, insurance). Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. Supporting technology includes the My Olinn client portal, the MyLease extranet and CalcuLease mobile app for partner channels, and Blancco-certified data erasure for end-of-life devices.

Olinn goes to market through enterprise field sales, an inside sales team, and a partner channel for equipment manufacturers/distributors, supplemented by content marketing (white papers, VR facility tours), LinkedIn, and a YouTube presence. The company differentiates through circular economy positioning, Entreprise Adaptée (EA) accreditation since 2013 with 60+ employees with disabilities, ISO 9001/14001 certifications, an EcoVadis Silver medal (74/100, top 15% globally), and captive backing from the Crédit Agricole Group. No revenue, funding, or M&A history is publicly disclosed.

Revenue model

1. Location évolutive (LLD) - Long-term equipment leasing: Olinn provides leasing contracts for professional equipment (IT, mobile, automotive, medical, industrial, construction) over 12 to 72 months.

This is the core revenue stream, enabling Olinn to manage the full lifecycle of equipment from acquisition through refurbishment.
2. Leaseback: Olinn purchases equipment at net book value and refinances it via an evolving lease contract. Provides clients with immediate liquidity while Olinn retains the asset on its balance sheet for ongoing lease revenue.
3. Refurbished equipment sales: Olinn sells reconditioned IT and mobile equipment to businesses and individuals, offering savings of up to 70% versus new equipment. Revenue from the resale of refurbished assets after lease returns.
4. Sales financing for partners: Olinn enables manufacturers and distributors to integrate leasing solutions into their commercial offers. Olinn pays the vendor immediately and collects rentals from the end customer, generating fee income on the financing spread.
5. Fleet management and operational services: Additional services including asset management, operational handling, deployment, enrollment, masterization, multisite deployment, insurance, maintenance, and repair services bundled with lease contracts or sold à la carte.

Partnerships

Six partnerships are on record, tiered core / strategic, minor / csr initiative and core / essential.

• Ekodev (EPSA Group)core / strategicStrategic or Co-development PartnerOlinn partnered with Ekodev, a sustainability consultancy within the EPSA Group, to conduct a study measuring the environmental impact of IT equipment refurbishment. The study quantified CO2 savings and water conservation from extending equipment lifespan — a key pillar of Olinn's RSE messaging.
• Wings of the Oceanminor / csr initiativeStrategic or Co-development PartnerWings of the Ocean is a charity dedicated to ocean protection and plastic waste removal. Olinn collaborators collectively walked/ran 5,000 km to raise EUR 2,500 for the association, demonstrating Olinn's social engagement beyond its core business.
• Blanccocore / essentialTechnology or IntegrationBlancco is the certified data erasure solution used by Olinn to permanently and securely erase all data from returned IT and mobile devices before refurbishment or recycling. This ensures GDPR compliance and data security — a critical trust factor for enterprise clients.
• Ecologiccore / essentialStrategic or Co-development PartnerEcologic is a state-approved eco-organization (éco-organisme agréé) managing the collection, depollution, and recycling of Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (DEEE/WEEE) in France. Olinn uses Ecologic to channel all equipment that cannot be refurbished, ensuring compliant end-of-life processing.
• UN Global Compactcore / strategicStrategic or Co-development PartnerOlinn is a signatory of the UN Global Compact, committing to its 10 principles on human rights, labor rights, environmental protection, and anti-corruption. This alignment shapes Olinn's RSE strategy and sustainability reporting.
• AFNOR (Certification body)core / essentialOthersOlinn obtained dual certification ISO 9001:2015 (Quality Management) and ISO 14001:2015 (Environmental Management) for its refurbishment operations through AFNOR, France's standards and certification authority.

Direct peers

• ITANCIA: French IT distribution, services, and circular-economy company offering refurbished equipment, IT lifecycle management, and reseller services. Most direct French peer to Olinn's IT refurbishment and second-life management business.
• Evernex: Global third-party maintenance and IT lifecycle services provider headquartered in France. Competes with Olinn's refurbishment and second-life management offering for enterprise IT hardware, with comparable service bundling and ESG positioning.
• CHG-MERIDIAN: German-based IT lifecycle services and technology finance provider with extensive European presence. Operates proprietary refurbishment centers, IT asset remarketing, and circular-economy capabilities — the closest pan-European analogue to Olinn's IT-focused lifecycle model.
• Econocom: French-headquartered digital services and equipment lifecycle/leasing group operating across Europe. Econocom offers IT as-a-Service, leasing, refurbishment (through its Be Clever program), and circular-economy services — directly comparable to Olinn's 'all-in-one' multi-vendor equipment model.

Broad incumbents

• Siemens Financial Services: Captive financing arm of Siemens AG offering equipment leasing across industrial automation, digital industries, and smart infrastructure. Overlaps with Olinn's industrial equipment leasing line and shares vendor-finance distribution dynamics.
• BNP Paribas Leasing Solutions: Bank-affiliated equipment leasing arm of BNP Paribas, covering IT, industrial, agricultural, and healthcare equipment across Europe. A scaled incumbent with deeper capital base and broader client reach, competing directly for the same enterprise LLD mandates Olinn pursues.
• DLL (De Lage Landen): Global vendor finance and leasing subsidiary of Rabobank, active across IT, healthcare, food, agriculture, and construction equipment. Comparable multi-category equipment finance model with deeper international reach than Olinn.
• GRENKE: German-headquartered specialist in small-ticket IT and office equipment leasing across Europe. Comparable recurring-lease business model with similar target market (SMEs) and equipment categories, though without Olinn's integrated refurbishment infrastructure.
• Bechtle: Germany's largest independent IT systems integrator and managed services provider with growing circular IT and remarketing capabilities (Bechtle Circular). Competes in IT lifecycle services and increasingly in refurbished IT, though anchored in IT distribution rather than leasing.

Emerging players

• Back Market: French-founded refurbished electronics marketplace scaling across Europe and the US. While not a direct lessor, Back Market captures consumer and SMB demand for refurbished IT/mobile devices, applying downward pricing pressure on the secondary IT market that Olinn's resale channel depends on.
