Alvg Anlagenvermietung

What Alvg Anlagenvermietung does

ALVG Anlagenvermietung GmbH is a Stuttgart-based, privately held German leasing company founded in 1968 as a subsidiary of Robert Bosch GmbH and now operating as a wholly-owned subsidiary of SüdLeasing GmbH within the LBBW (Landesbank Baden-Württemberg) group. The company specializes in object financing for three asset categories — Informationstechnologie (IT hardware, software, servers, networks, ERP/CRM), Werkstatttechnik (automotive workshop equipment such as lifting platforms, diagnostic systems, and tire-mounting machines), and Fördertechnik (forklifts and intralogistics assets, including electric, diesel, gas, hydrogen, and automated guided vehicles) — and selectively extends into larger-ticket assets such as locomotives and hydrogen fuel cell commercial vehicles.

Its core product set comprises Leasing (operating-lease structure with fixed monthly rates and ALVG retaining legal ownership during the term), Mietkauf (hire purchase with ownership transfer at final installment), and Absatzfinanzierung (point-of-sale sales financing for dealers and manufacturers), complemented by a Kreislaufwirtschaft end-of-lease disposal and recycling service operated through certified partners. An ESG-linked Leasing variant, developed with EcoVadis, provides monetary bonuses to lessees with stronger sustainability ratings. Underlying technology consists of web-based customer and partner portals (ALVG-Portal for contract and object visibility, the WLAN Werkstatt Leasing Network for dealer/manufacturer access, and a Formularcenter for documentation), supported by IT systems for lease accounting (IFRS 16), risk management, and contract management. ALVG is in the midst of a group-level IT transformation with Novatec, including a 'Vertriebscockpit' sales-cockpit project to digitize the customer-acquisition-to-contract workflow.

ALVG generates revenue primarily through recurring monthly lease and Mietkauf installments on its financed asset portfolio, with additional transaction-based income from sales financing arrangements and ancillary professional-services revenue from end-of-lease disposal and recycling. The company operates an enterprise field-sales model augmented by a channel-partner program for dealers and manufacturers and direct engagement with German Mittelstand entrepreneurs. ALVG is supervised by BaFin as a financial services provider, employs 52 people, and is led by Geschäftsführer Sascha Krebs (since 2012) and Thomas Rebentisch (since 1 April 2026).

Revenue model

1. Leasing: Investment goods financing over their usage period with fixed monthly rates. The leased object remains legally owned by ALVG during the contract term. After the lease term, objects can be purchased at residual value or returned.
2. Mietkauf (Hire Purchase): Object financing where the customer is the economic owner during the contract term with monthly installments. Legal ownership transfers to the buyer upon payment of the final installment. VAT is due with the first installment.
3. Absatzfinanzierung (Sales Financing): Financing solutions embedded in dealers' sales processes, supporting their sales cycle and providing customers with leasing or hire purchase options for assets and services.
4. Kreislaufwirtschaft (Circular Economy/Object Disposal): Certified disposal and recycling services for leased objects at end of contract life. Objects are refurbished for reuse or recycled in an environmentally friendly manner with recovered raw materials returned to economic circulation.

Its core offerings are operating leases, hire purchase (Mietkauf), embedded sales financing, and end-of-lease circular economy disposal, supported by web-based partner and customer portals.

Product overview

ALVG Anlagenvermietung GmbH offers a comprehensive suite of object financing solutions centered around three core financing models: Leasing (operating lease where ALVG retains ownership during the contract term), Mietkauf (hire purchase with ownership transfer upon final payment), and Absatzfinanzierung (sales financing for dealers and manufacturers). The company specializes in financing specific asset categories including Informationstechnologie (IT hardware, software, servers, networks), Werkstatttechnik (automotive workshop equipment), Fördertechnik (materials handling equipment and forklifts), and additional objects through parent company SüdLeasing. The Kreislaufwirtschaft (circular economy/object recycling) service complements the financing portfolio by managing returned lease objects through certified recycling partners. The product architecture is platform-based with customer portals (ALVG-Portal, WLAN partner portal, Formularcenter) supporting the core financing services.
