Holand Automotive Group Expands Leasing Platform

In an impressive move, the Holand Automotive Group has announced the strategic acquisition of selected assets from John Scotti Leasing Inc. through a court-supervised insolvency process. This acquisition emphasizes Holand's unwavering commitment to the ultra-luxury vehicle segment and aims to improve service for its discerning clientele in Quebec.

The Strategic Acquisition

On August 3, 2026, Holand Leasing completed the acquisition, focused solely on assets that perfectly align with their business model and customer preferences. Unlike purchasing the entire portfolio, Holand collaborated with the insolvency trustee to identify and acquire only those leases that enhance their existing offerings. This meticulous selection process ensures that the integration strengthens both customer satisfaction and company value.

Gad Bitton, President and Chairman of Holand Automotive Group, highlighted the significance of this development:

“We are excited and proud to welcome clients to the Holand family through this transaction. It reflects our confidence in the ultra-luxury segment and our commitment to serve this market with the utmost flexibility and discretion.”

This sentiment resonates with Holand's broader vision of enhancing customer relationships while maintaining existing agreements and offering desired flexibility during the enhancement of the portfolio.

Transition Process

Holand Leasing commits to a seamless transition for affected leasing customers to ensure continuity of service. Existing leases will be preserved, allowing customers to benefit from Holand's entire range of services. Holand acts as a full-service leasing company that supports clients from procurement through financing and renewals across many prestigious global brands.

Leading this integration effort will be Senior Vice-President Janet Cully, a valued member of the Holand team since 1995. Cully will oversee operations to ensure that exceptional service standards are maintained during this transition. Viki Forese, head of leasing, will report directly to her, managing the integration of the acquired portfolio alongside Meir Bitton, Executive Vice-President of Holand Leasing.

Meir Bitton reassured clients about the transition, stating:

“We prioritize our customers. Every tenant moving to Holand can expect seamless service and the premier attention they deserve.”

Long-term Vision

This acquisition aligns with Holand Automotive Group’s long-term strategy to create value through selective and disciplined acquisitions tailored to its business model and client base. The company remains dedicated to identifying opportunities that allow it to serve its clientele better than any of its competitors.

Founded in 1995, Holand Automotive Group is recognized as a major player in the luxury and ultra-luxury automotive sector, representing some of the most renowned brands globally. Their dealerships include prestigious names like Ferrari, Rolls-Royce, Lamborghini, and Aston Martin among others.

With Holand Leasing and its associated ventures in real estate and hospitality, the group aspires to deliver an unparalleled experience to its sophisticated clients worldwide. As they navigate through this acquisition phase, it’s clear that the Holand Automotive Group is strategically positioned to thrive in the competitive ultra-luxury vehicle market.
