TL;DR

A second-tier general leasing company in the former Fuji Bank lineage (TSE PRIME 8424). A second-tier player following the 3 major leasing firms (orix-corp / Mitsubishi HC Capital / tokyo-century), it carries the financial core function of the Fuyo Group (the former Fuji Bank community: mizuho-fg + Marubeni + Nissan + Canon + Nisshin Flour Milling + Tokio Marine tokio-marine, etc.). Founded in 1969-09-04 (former name: Fuyo Factor). It has a 6 -axis composition of general equipment leasing + real estate + environment / renewable energy + medical / nursing care + aircraft / ships + overseas (centered on Asia). It is in a sibling-cum-competitor relationship with tokyo-century, which, in the same former Fuji Bank lineage, “managed to consolidate ahead into the second tier of the three majors.”
