The company’s equipment financing products will be sold through the agricultural and construction equipment dealerships that represent the CNH family of brands in Puerto Rico, including New Holland, New Holland Construction and Case Construction.
“Equipment is a major investment for dealers and their customers,” notes Brett Davis, Senior Director, CNH Capital Ag Financial Solutions. “By establishing a presence in Puerto Rico, we can now offer equipment financing that makes investing in our equipment brands both easy and affordable.”
CNH Capital’s initial product offering in Puerto Rico includes wholesale and retail equipment financing.

Equipment dealerships likewise now have access to ongoing sales support and training, to help them build and grow a successful financing sales operation.
“CNH Capital is committed to doing business in Puerto Rico, with the right people, products and services for this market,” says Davis. “It’s another great example of the ‘one-source solution’ that participating dealers in Puerto Rico can now provide. Dealers and their customers can now finance their purchases with one source – CNH Capital.”
