The atmosphere is relaxed, probably because
the figures for the 2013 fiscal year are
outstanding. PFS has leased or financed
around 44,000 new and pre-owned vehi-
cles worldwide. That represents a twelve
percent increase compared to the previous
year. All in all, PFS manages more than
95,000 financial service contracts worth a
total of around 4 billion euro.
Moser: With our positioning and 25 years
of experience as a premium financial ser-
vices provider, it was only logical to assign
PFS with the responsibility for working with
other premium brands within the Volkswagen
Group in 2011. In this way, sister brands
Bentley, Lamborghini and Bugatti also
benefit from our established structures
and brand-specific procedures.
Meschke: In the financial services sector,
we made a point early on of identifying
and evaluating synergies from all aspects.
We continue to meet and discuss any
emerging issues with the individual corpo-
rate units so that Financial Services can
find the best solutions for the respective
brand. For example, in the near future,
PFS will benefit from the collaboration
with Volkswagen Financial Services in
China and Great Britain, thanks to the
processes and financing structures it es-
tablished, among other things. Here, too,
the concept of an integrated automobile
company was able to be successfully
implemented.
Albert Moser, manager of PFS, Lutz Meschke, CFO of Porsche AG and Chairman of the Supervisory Board of PFS, as well as Konrad Riedl, Managing Director of PFS
