Below are some of our success stories.
Suzuki Motor
Suzuki Motor is a world-renowned car, motorbike and outboard engine dealership. Santander has helped it grow in Mexico and, over the past five years, worked alongside the company on the Suzuki Finance scheme, which has driven an increase in sales to record levels and turned it into the second fastest growing brand in the market during that time.
From the outset, this Mexican subsidiary of the car manufacturer has offered a range of products and services, including customer service and advice from credit specialists, at its dealerships.
Formaspack
Headquartered in Reocín (Cantabria, Spain), Formaspack Recycling Group is a leader in the management and recycling of plastic waste. Its aim is to give this waste a second life by restoring it to its original use (known as upcycling) without losing its value or properties.
Santander has been supporting this family-run business, which currently turns over EUR 120 million, since its beginnings and we’re now a key partner in its expansion, providing the finance for new facilities and machinery as well as advisory services.
Smart Fit
This Brazil-based chain of gyms has managed to expand to 14 countries across Latin America. Its business model draws on fostering personal care through sport, with gym-based products and services at very competitive prices.
Santander has helped Smart Fit branch out internationally under its growth strategy as a solid, experienced partner in the markets where it has expanded to.
