BUSINESS BRIEFS

Bank acquisition Bank of Ann Arbor announced it has acquired Ervin Leasing Company, a privately held national equipment leasing and finance company founded in 1978 and headquartered in Ann Arbor. Ervin Leasing, a subsidiary of parent company Ervin Industries, has been a highly successful and growth oriented leasing company since its founding in 1978. After successfully navigating the economic downturn in 2008 and 2009, the company began to ramp up sales in 2010. However, Ervin Leasing’s funding sources, previous­ ly providing lines of credit in the range of $100 mil­ lion, remained on the sidelines, leading to Ervin Indus­ tries’ decision to seek out a new owner who could pro­ vide funding for growth. After seeking proposals from banks and private equity firms, Bank of Ann Arbor was chosen as the successor to Ervin Industries as the new owner of Ervin Leasing. “We are super excited about this opportunity to join forces with Ervin Leasing and further diversify our product offerings,” said Timothy G. Marshall, Bank of Ann Arbor’s President & CEO. “Bank of Ann Arbor has a substantial level of liquidity to fund the antic­ ipated growth of the newly acquired leasing compa­ ny. Having done business with Ervin Leasing for over ten years, we know the company very well and admire the strong and experienced management team and its seasoned employees who Will all join our Bank of Ann Arbor team .” “We chose Bank of Ann Arbor as the new owner American Coney Island, the home of the original Detroit 'Coney Dog,' opens a new, 50-seat restaurant on Michigan of Ervin Leasing based on our strong desire to affil­ Avenue in Canton on Saturday. iate with a company who would hire all of our local staff, has a similar culture that is growth oriented and a great place to work, and has an impeccable reputa­ tion,” said Bruce Gaffney, President and CEO of Ervin Family brings ‘Detroit Coney’ to Canton Leasing “We also have maintained a very strong cred­ it culture over the history of the company which is similar to the credit culture at Bank of Ann Arbor.
