PEAC Solutions Europe

Meet the PEAC Team: Thilo Schürmann   Thilo recently joined PEAC as Senior Sales Manager, focusing on sales financing for the material handling and intralogistics sectors across Germany.   His career in B2B sales began in 2009, and over the years he has gained experience working for manufacturers, alongside dealer networks and in vendor finance. Seeing the industry from these different angles has shaped his approach: good financing should help move a sale forward, not get in the way.   For Thilo, that means responding swiftly, communicating clearly and finding practical solutions that fit naturally into a partner’s sales process. So manufacturers and dealers can focus on selling their equipment, not explaining financing structures.   Outside work, his two children keep him grounded and remind him not to take life too seriously. When travelling, he enjoys discovering local espresso spots, and his running shoes are always packed.   His motto says it best: “Keep it simple. Surround yourself with great people. The rest will follow.”   Great to have you with us, Thilo 🙌

Canada wins the World Cup 🏆 Well, at least according to PEAC Solutions’ first-ever table football tournament.   Last week, our PEAC Summer After Work came with a little twist. For the first time, we turned part of the evening into a small World Cup at the table.   The idea was simple: colleagues were randomly drawn into teams, assigned to different national sides and brought together across all experience levels. And that mix was exactly what made it fun. Some teams had tactics, some had luck, and some mainly had a good laugh. Around the table, there was plenty of cheering, good conversations and the occasional surprise talent 🙌   After a few lively rounds, the final was set: Germany vs. Canada. And Canada took the title 🍁   The tournament also came with a special expert touch. It was organized by our colleague Sabine and her husband Björn, who both bring national-team appearances as well as international titles. So naturally, they could not leave without playing one final match against the Canadian winners.   A good reminder that the best evenings are often quite simple: a game, a relaxed setting and great people.

Putting theory into practice: We took part in the Campus & Career Day at NORDAKADEMIE Hochschule der Wirtschaft!   Together with Marleen Hinzmann and our dual student Hanna, we spent the day talking to the next generation about what a dual study program at PEAC Solutions looks like. Hanna openly shared how she experiences the combination of academic learning and practical work – from getting to know the business to taking on real tasks and growing into a professional role step by step.   For more than 14 years, we have partnered with NORDAKADEMIE in the fields of Business Administration and Business Informatics, to accompany young talents from the start, helping them gain practical experience and grow early in their careers.   A big thank you to everyone who stopped by, asked thoughtful questions, and shared their plans with us. We really enjoyed meeting you.   Couldn’t make it in person but interested in starting your dual study journey? Feel free to reach out to Marleen right here on LinkedIn.

Global ABS is one of the key gathering points for the structured finance and securitization community. Its 30th anniversary edition will bring industry leaders together to discuss the trends shaping the market. Our CFO, Mark Bussmann, will join the Spotlight Stage session “The Cost of Green: Climate, Credit Risk, and Financing the Transition” focusing on how transition dynamics, regulation, and ESG considerations are reshaping risk assessment and structured finance. At PEAC Solutions, these conversations are highly relevant to how we think about sustainable growth, resilient funding, and the role of asset finance in helping businesses invest with confidence. We look forward to the discussions in Barcelona and to connecting with our banking partners and investors.

From working student to our CFO – the PEAC team laced up and joined this year’s Hamburg HafenCity Run.   Stepping away from our desks, we took on the scenic course through Hamburg’s harbor district and once again experienced what makes this event special: movement for a good cause, sharing motivation and team spirit. Huge thanks to everyone who ran or supported the event. What brings us together doesn’t stop at the office door, and the HafenCity Run once again highlighted what connects us as one PEAC team – on and off the course. Ready to join us next year?

We are excited to celebrate a special milestone: Maximilian, Hinnerk, Thore and Anna have successfully completed their 3.5-year dual study program with PEAC Solutions.   Over the past years, they have combined academic learning with hands-on experience across our organization, continuously growing, taking on responsibility and contributing to our teams along the way.   In close cooperation with our partner NORDAKADEMIE Hochschule der Wirtschaft, this reflects what dual studies are all about: connecting theory and practice while preparing young talent for the realities of business.   We are especially proud that all four will continue their careers with us in new roles – find out more about their next steps in the slideshow. Congratulations to all four of you! We truly appreciate your dedication and look forward to your continued journey at PEAC.

We’re at IFAT in Munich next week, the world’s leading trade fair for environmental technologies, focusing on water, recycling, circularity and raw‑materials management.   Investments in these areas require flexible financing solutions that take the decision‑making frameworks of public authorities into account. At the fair, our PEAC Solutions team will be meeting with partners and manufacturers to demonstrate how leasing can help them create attractive offerings for municipalities. This matters because leasing can also give public-sector organizations a practical and budget-conscious way to invest in innovative municipal services and infrastructure. If you’re attending IFAT or would like to discuss this further, feel free to reach out to us here on LinkedIn.

Great summary from Roel. FIBO 2026 once again showed how dynamic the health, fitness and wellness sectors are. One thing came through clearly in many of our conversations: companies need partners who combine flexibility, reliability and a real understanding of the market. This is where financing plays an important role in bringing new innovations to customers who expect fast access to new solutions.

Kicking off FIBO in Cologne with the PEAC Solutions team on-site, excited to explore the latest innovations in fitness and healthtech.   As the industry’s leading trade show, there’s a lot to discover and it’s a great opportunity to connect with partners and anyone interested in how flexible financing models help bring new technologies to market faster and more efficiently.   What’s particularly exciting is the strong convergence of fitness and healthtech. From smart diagnostics to data-driven training solutions, many developments show how clever financing can accelerate the industry’s professionalization and open the door to new business models.   If you’re at FIBO as well, let’s meet on-site or feel free to reach out on LinkedIn if you’d like to continue the conversation afterwards.
