Greensboro, N.C.-based Volvo Financial Services North America recently held a ribbon-cutting ceremony to celebrate the opening of its new office in Aurora, Ontario.
The new facility was opened to support the growth of the company’s Canadian operations, which provide financial services to dealers and customers within the Mack Trucks, Volvo Trucks, Volvo Construction Equipment, Volvo Rents and Prevost bus business segments.
“Our investment in these facilities is a reflection of Volvo Financial Services’ commitment in continuing to provide our Canadian dealers and customers a high level of service and support,” said Martin Weissburg, president and CEO of Volvo Financial Services North America. “We take pride in being part of not only the Volvo Group, but also the growth or vitality of Canadian markets.”

The company provides financial services for the truck, construction equipment, bus, aerospace and marine industries.
