Comprendium

Comprendium is the brand of the Comprendium Financial Services Gruppe, a bank- and manufacturer-independent leasing company. According to its German Wikipedia entry, the group operates in information and telecommunications technology, plant and machinery, medical and laboratory technology, and also leases brands and patents and provides factoring services. It employs roughly 100 people across Germany, Austria, France and Switzerland. In Germany the operating entity is named Comprendium Structured Financing GmbH. The group's roots go back to 1979, when Comdisco Deutschland GmbH and Comdisco Schweiz S.A. were founded. The business grew in the IT leasing field and by 1990 was described as the largest manufacturer-independent leasing company for IT equipment. In 2002 the holding company Comprendium Investment S.A. was established in Switzerland and took over Comdisco Schweiz, operating under the name Comprendium Finance SA. In April 2003 Comdisco Deutschland GmbH was also sold to Comprendium Investment Deutschland GmbH, a subsidiary of Comprendium Investment SA Switzerland, and became part of the Comprendium Financial Services Gruppe. Comprendium subsequently broadened its IT leasing activities with additional services in the area of asset life-cycle management for companies and public-sector clients. In May 2006 it acquired the French financing provider IT-Advance, which continued in France as Comprendium France SAS in Paris. Since 2005 Comprendium has not only been active in movable-property leasing but has also entered the financing of intangible economic assets such as brands, patents and licences, as well as the factoring business. In February 2009 John W Boo became managing director of the Comprendium Financial Services Gruppe. The company is a member of the Bundesverband Deutscher Leasing-Unternehmen (German Leasing Association). The brand's current operating status is not confirmed by the supplied evidence; the official domain now resolves to a domain-sale landing page, which suggests the original web presence is no longer active.

The history of Comprendium begins with the founding of Comdisco Deutschland GmbH and Comdisco Schweiz S.A. in 1979. The business developed in the IT leasing field and by 1990 was described as the largest manufacturer-independent leasing company for IT equipment. In 2002 the holding company Comprendium Investment S.A. was founded in Switzerland and took over Comdisco Schweiz, which then operated under the name Comprendium Finance SA. In April 2003 Comdisco Deutschland GmbH was also sold to Comprendium Investment Deutschland GmbH, a subsidiary of Comprendium Investment SA Switzerland, and became part of the Comprendium Financial Services Gruppe. Comprendium subsequently expanded its IT leasing activities with additional services and offerings in the field of asset life-cycle management for companies and public-sector clients. In May 2006 it acquired the French financing provider IT-Advance, which continued in France under the name Comprendium France SAS in Paris. Since 2005 Comprendium has been active not only in movable-property leasing but also in the financing of intangible economic assets such as brands, patents and licences, as well as in the factoring business. In February 2009 John W Boo became managing director of the Comprendium Financial Services Gruppe. The group is a member of the Bundesverband Deutscher Leasing-Unternehmen. The German Wikipedia article also links to Handelsblatt articles from 26 April 2008 and 23 June 2008 as further coverage. The supplied evidence does not document events after 2009, and the official domain now resolves to a domain-sale landing page, so the brand's present operating status is unclear.
