Holand Automotive Group Expands Luxury Leasing Portfolio with John Scotti Acquisition

Holand Automotive Group Expands Its Luxury Leasing Platform Through Strategic Acquisition of John Scotti Leasing Inc.

On August 3, 2026, Holand Automotive Group, a leading name in the Canadian luxury and ultra-luxury automotive sector, announced a momentous event in its growth trajectory. The company's leasing division, Holand Leasing, has successfully completed the strategic acquisition of a select portion of John Scotti Leasing Inc.'s portfolio through a supervised judicial process. This acquisition marks a significant step forward for Holand, further solidifying its commitment to delivering premium services to its discerning clientele in Quebec.

Holand Leasing has specifically identified and acquired leasing assets that align perfectly with its ultra-luxury business model, emphasizing an approach that ensures compatibility with the profile of its esteemed customers and the luxury brands it represents. Rather than acquiring the entirety of John Scotti's leasing portfolio, Holand carefully worked alongside the judicial administrator to target the leasing contracts that would best augment its existing business model.

Gad Bitton, President and CEO of Holand Automotive Group, expressed enthusiasm about the acquisition. “We are pleased and proud to welcome the clients joining the Holand family through this transaction,” he stated. “This acquisition reflects our conviction in the ultra-luxury segment and our commitment to providing our clients the flexibility, discretion, and level of service they deserve.”

This recent move by Holand comes as part of a deliberate strategy aimed at reinforcing their existing leasing platform. By integrating highly compatible assets into the current Holand Leasing framework, the company aims to generate immediate value not only for the newcomers but also for its existing clientele. Holand Leasing’s overarching goal is to ensure that every client experiences a seamless transition while maintaining their current leasing agreements, along with the comprehensive service suite that Holand is known for.

To ensure an efficient integration process, Janet Cully, Senior Vice President and an integral member of Holand since its inception in 1995, will lead the integration efforts. Cully's extensive experience in the industry positions her well to oversee the unfolding of this substantial transition. Reporting to her, Viki Forese, the Director of Leasing Operations, will guide the daily integration activities for the acquired portfolio, working closely with Meir Bitton, Executive Vice President of Holand Leasing, to uphold the exceptional service standards that Holand clients have come to expect.

“Our primary focus is our clients. Every lessee who joins us can count on a smooth, hassle-free transition, coupled with the attentive and first-class service they rightly deserve,” said Meir Bitton.

The strategic acquisition of John Scotti Leasing Inc. fits seamlessly into Holand Automotive Group’s long-term business strategy, focused on delivering value through carefully chosen and disciplined acquisitions that align with its business model and clientele. Holand remains committed to evaluating opportunities where it can develop, invest, and create lasting value that adheres to its mission of superior client service.

Founded in 1995, Holand Automotive Group has established itself as a premier multi-brand luxury and ultra-luxury automotive organization, representing some of the world’s most prestigious brands across Canada, the United States, and Europe. Its dealerships feature iconic names such as Ferrari, Rolls-Royce, Lamborghini, McLaren, Aston Martin, and more.

With its full-service leasing division, Holand Leasing, along with its real estate and hospitality ventures, Holand remains devoted to providing an exceptional experience for the world’s most discerning clients and to fostering long-term relationships based on trust and excellence. This acquisition not only marks a new chapter for Holand Automotive but also a promising future for its clients and the luxury leasing sector as a whole.
