Azuma Leasing
Azuma Leasing is a leasing company headquartered in Austin, Texas. The company leases Washers and Dryers to residential and commercial customers in 26 U.S. metropolitan markets.[1]
David Newberger founded Azuma as a startup company in 1993.[2] He sought competitive advantage by installing washers and dryers directly to apartment residents [3] as a service amenity.[4] In 2003, Azuma quadrupled its business by acquiring the appliance leasing contracts of Web Service Company, based in Redondo Beach, California.[5] In 2017, AZUMA decided to expand their business ventures into leasing furniture and housewares with the sale of the appliance business over to Appliance Warehouse. In 2022 AZUMA re-established its Washer and Dryer rentals business and now solely focuses on appliance leasing and has exited the furniture and houseware business.
