Essex Expands in Calgary: What It Means for Your Business

Hey, Calgary! Big news just hit our local business scene on November 3, 2025. Our very own Essex Lease Financial Corporation, a powerhouse in equipment finance across Western Canada, has officially completed its acquisition of ATB Financial’s Capital Asset Financing Division.

This isn't just corporate shuffling; it’s a big win for Calgary's entrepreneurial spirit and our thriving economy. With the city’s ongoing diversification efforts and robust growth in sectors like logistics and agriculture, access to tailored financial solutions is more critical than ever. Essex, based right here in our backyard, is now poised to offer expanded services and fresh opportunities for local businesses looking to invest in new equipment.

Throughout the transaction, both Essex and ATB Financial identified significant synergies, hinting at future collaborations that could further benefit our business landscape. If your local operation, especially in transportation or agriculture, is eyeing growth, Essex might just be your new go-to for financing. It's another sign of Calgary's dynamic market, continually evolving to support local success.
