Arburg equipment financing helps Canadian plastics manufacturers, packaging producers, automotive suppliers, medical component makers, and contract moulders acquire injection moulding machinery without tying up working capital. Mehmi Financial Group finances new and used Arburg units through equipment financing in Canada and equipment leasing, giving qualified businesses a way to preserve cash while adding production capacity.
Arburg equipment is used across Canadian manufacturing for precision plastic parts, packaging components, medical products, automotive parts, electronics housings, consumer goods, and high-volume contract moulding. Arburg’s official product range includes modular ALLROUNDER injection moulding machines, robotic systems, turnkey projects, control systems, and digital products, which makes these assets more than a single machine purchase; they are often part of a production cell.
Financing or leasing Arburg equipment is often stronger than paying cash because injection moulding machinery can require installation, tooling, automation, training, freight, and working capital for resin, labour, and first production runs. A Canadian manufacturer buying a used ALLROUNDER for a new contract may be better served by keeping cash available for moulds and inventory instead of draining liquidity on the machine alone. Businesses comparing lease structures, loan structures, and cash-flow impact can also review Mehmi’s manufacturing and wholesale financing guidance.
For tax treatment, leasing is often evaluated differently than ownership. Lease payments may be treated as operating expenses depending on structure and accounting advice, while purchased equipment is usually handled through capital cost allowance deductions. The lender pays goods and services tax or harmonized sales tax at purchase and passes applicable taxes through each lease payment, and registrants may claim input tax credits on those payments.
Arburg financing can apply to new and used ALLROUNDER hydraulic, hybrid, electric, vertical, cube, and automated production systems, including related robotics and turnkey accessories. Arburg lists electric ALLROUNDER ALLDRIVE machines, hydraulic ALLROUNDER S machines, hybrid ALLROUNDER HIDRIVE machines, vertical ALLROUNDER V and T machines, and robotic systems for automation, so the financing file should clearly identify the exact machine type, clamping force, injection unit, hours, controller, included robotics, and any auxiliary equipment.
Used Arburg units can be financeable, but the approval depends on age, hours, condition, service history, parts availability, and resale demand. Manufacturing machinery is usually underwritten as a durable industrial asset, but older machines attract shorter terms and more documentation. As a practical Canadian approval example, a clean 7-year-old ALLROUNDER with service records, strong resale demand, and a buyer with 5+ years in business may support a longer term and lower down payment, while a 16-year-old machine with high hours, missing maintenance records, or obsolete controls may need more cash down and a shorter term.

A strong Arburg financing package usually includes a credit application, 3–6 months of original-PDF bank statements, equipment quote or invoice, serial number, machine specifications, hours, photos, service history, and a personal net worth statement for most files. Financial statements are usually required over $250,000, and a credit write-up is usually required over $100,000. Dealer purchases can often move in 24–48 hours when the file is clean, while private sales, larger transactions, and challenged-credit files can take 3–5 business days because ownership, liens, payment proof, and documentation must be reviewed.
Approval comes down to the five credit factors. Character means clean credit, no serious bureau issues, and limited non-sufficient funds; 3+ non-sufficient funds in 24 months can be a major red flag. Capacity means the manufacturer’s cash flow can carry the payment even during slower production months. Capital means down payment and net worth support the file, with Gold/Prime often at 0–5%, Silver around 5–10%, and Bronze/Sub-Prime commonly 10–25%. Collateral means the Arburg machine must have acceptable age, hours, condition, resale value, and documentation. Conditions mean the lender understands the borrower’s industry, time in business, contract pipeline, and whether the machine is replacing a revenue-producing unit or adding speculative capacity.
For private purchases, lenders may require a bill of sale, proof of payment, lien search, and seller verification. Some lenders restrict private sales, including restrictions in Quebec or minimum private-sale deal sizes, so the transaction should be packaged carefully. A specific approval killer for Arburg equipment is a machine that is too old, too customized, missing serial-number documentation, or tied to weak production demand. Mehmi can help position the file through private sale equipment financing and pre-approved equipment financing.
Q: Can I finance used Arburg equipment in Canada?
A: Yes, used Arburg equipment can be financed in Canada when the machine has acceptable age, hours, condition, service history, and resale value. Lenders will look more closely at older injection moulding machines because controls, hydraulics, barrels, screws, and automation can affect long-term value. If the seller is private, expect extra checks around ownership, liens, serial numbers, and payment proof.
Q: What Arburg models does Mehmi Financial Group finance?
A: Mehmi Financial Group can review financing for ALLROUNDER injection moulding machines, electric, hydraulic, hybrid, vertical, cube, and automated Arburg systems, plus related robotics and production-cell equipment. Approval is not automatic for every model because lenders still assess age, hours, condition, documentation, and resale demand. A complete quote with specifications will usually produce a stronger credit decision.
Q: How long does approval take?
A: Clean dealer files can often be reviewed within 24–48 hours when the buyer has strong credit, stable bank statements, and complete equipment details. Private sales, larger transactions, older machines, or challenged credit usually take 3–5 business days. Delays usually come from missing serial numbers, incomplete invoices, lien checks, unclear seller ownership, or bank statements that are not original PDF files.
Q: What documents do I need to apply?
A: Most Arburg financing files require a credit application, 3–6 months of original-PDF bank statements, equipment quote or invoice, machine specifications, photos, serial number, and personal net worth statement. Financial statements are typically required over $250,000, and a credit write-up is usually required over $100,000. You can also use Mehmi’s equipment financing cost calculator to compare payment structure before applying.
Q: Is leasing or buying Arburg equipment better for my Canadian business?
A: Leasing is often better when you want to preserve working capital, align payments with production revenue, and avoid putting too much cash into one machine. Buying may be better when you want long-term ownership, strong residual value, and capital cost allowance deductions. The best structure depends on credit strength, machine age, expected usage, tax position, and whether the asset is replacing an existing revenue-producing unit.
Q: How does goods and services tax or harmonized sales tax work on leased Arburg equipment in Canada?
A: In a lease, the lender pays goods and services tax or harmonized sales tax at purchase and passes applicable tax through each lease payment. If your business is registered for goods and services tax or harmonized sales tax, you may be able to claim input tax credits on those payments. Provincial sales tax can also apply to financed or leased equipment in British Columbia, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba, while Quebec sales tax applies in Quebec.
