Ayvens boasts a portfolio that includes multinationals, SMEs, entrepreneurial companies, and both large and small fleets. The company's extensive network covers the entire territory of Romania.
Following the completion of the integration under the Ayvens brand in Romania, which concluded in the second quarter of 2025, a new management team has been announced.

Shane Dowling, the Country Managing Director, has stated that the integration process went well. The launch of the new Ayvens brand in Romania took place in September 2024.
Despite the integration, Ayvens remains committed to ensuring that its clients continue to receive the highest quality of service. The company's focus on client satisfaction and its strategic moves in the operational leasing sector in Romania position it for continued growth and success.
The integration of LeasePlan under the Ayvens brand in Romania, finalized in the second quarter of 2025, has resulted in a restructured management team.
