Founded in 1948 by Steward Holman, the global fleet management and services specialist currently ARI manages more than one million fleet vehicles in North America, the UK and Europe, and together with its global partners, more than two million worldwide.

‘We’re proud to mark this incredible milestone in our company’s history,’ said ARI President Carl A Ortell. ‘Many things have changed since our company’s earliest days, but the one thing that hasn’t changed is our people and their dedication to providing our customers with superior service and unmatched expertise in running a best-in-class fleet. Without question, our strength is our people and I would like to thank everyone at ARI for their continued focus on excellence.’

Mr Ortell also extended recognition and thanks to all of ARI’s customers and business partners, and affirmed the company’s continued commitment to providing solutions ‘that help lower total cost of ownership and to the development of its market-leading technologies’.

ARI has also expanded across the globe over the past several years, first with ARI Fleet UK, and more recently with ARI Fleet Germany and the acquisition of HPI Fleet & Mobility in Europe, which closed in October 2013. This growth reflects ARI’s commitment to serving the needs of its multi-national customers as well as those with regional requirements across the world and especially in Europe.

The company said that in the coming years it ‘plans to continue to bring its unique approach to customer service, its innovative technology solutions and its customized products and services to new markets and regions’.

It added that it ‘plans to continue to invest in people, processes and technology in order to remain a market leader in fleet management solutions worldwide’.
