Presentation
REALEASE CAPITAL est un acteur majeur depuis plus de 35 ans de la location longue durée d'équipements professionnels : matériels IT, médicaux, industriels . REALEASE Capital est présent en France au travers de 7 agences régionales et en Belgique avec une filiale. Le groupe compte plus de 70 collaborateurs . Sophiae , filiale de REALEASE Capital, déploie des solutions numériques et pédagogiques dans les écoles.
REALEASE Capital et Sophiae, de part leurs activités, intègrent les enjeux environnementaux au quotidien et notamment ceux de l'économie circulaire et du digital: la location permettant en effet de prolonger la durée de vie des équipements et d'adapter la durée à l'usage. REALEASE CAPITAL prend en compte également ces enjeux sur les matériels qu'elle récupère des fins de contrat, en privilégiant le réemploi et le recyclage des ces équipements. Le fonds Weinberg capital Partners, actionnaire majoritaire depuis 2018, accompagne REALEASE CAPITAL dans son développement avec des exigences d'intégrer le développement durable dans l'organisation.
