Del Global Technologies (Franklin Park, Illinois) said it has partnered with Beacon Funding Corp. (Northbrook, Illinois) to provide the Del Medical leasing program, which is currently being rolled out to Del Medical dealers nationwide.

The program provides a lease-to-own option that allows Del dealers to facilitate sales and provide more diversity for financing at a time when customers are trying to manage working capital more efficiently, Del said.

"No matter how beneficial it might be for customers to install equipment in their operations, we're still dealing with tight credit markets and a lack of available funding instruments," said Mark Zorko, CFO of Del Global. "This exclusive leasing program complements our product portfolio to help our customers with financing."

Del makes high performance diagnostic imaging systems for medical, dental and veterinary applications through the Del Medical Systems Group. Through its subsidiaries the company offers a broad portfolio of general radiographic, radiographic/fluoroscopic, portable X-ray and digital radiographic systems to the global marketplace.
