LGM Financial Services has received a financial boost from the East.

The Vancouver-based F&I provider announced a strategic financial investment from Marubeni Corporation, one of Japan’s largest investment business conglomerates.

LGM said the partnership “marks a powerful step forward in advancing responsible mobility and innovation in the Canadian automotive industry, providing the stability, expertise and resources to drive meaningful growth” throughout LGM’s partner network of OEMs and dealers with a “long-term outlook, shared values and a deep commitment to sustainability.”

Marubeni has long been part of the North American automotive market in the aftermarket parts and distribution business, and already has offices in Toronto. LGM said the investment paves the way for broader innovation and collaboration across Canada’s automotive landscape, supported by a global partner committed to sustainable growth.

The investment marks Marubeni’s entry into the Canadian extended warranty market, the companies said, strengthening its presence in the North American mobility ecosystem. The partnership seeks to combine LGM’s advanced technology and expertise with Marubeni’s scale and aftermarket capabilities to deliver higher-value services for the entire vehicle lifecycle, from sale to service to resale.

LGM said its leadership team will remain intact, including founder Adam Hill, and will maintain its Canadian identity while adding global backing to scale its impact.

LGM president and CEO Drew Collier said the partnership is built on mutual respect and shared values, including fairness, innovation and harmony.

“We’ve been patient in our search for the right partner — one that aligns with our values and enhances our strategic position,” he said. “Marubeni’s global reach, automotive strength and cultural alignment make them the ideal investor to support our next chapter.

“At LGM, our values drive every decision we make. Marubeni’s alignment with these principles reinforces our belief that this partnership will serve our people, partners, and the environment.”

The organizations are united by a commitment to responsible mobility and environmental leadership, LGM said, and plan to explore new ways to meet market demands with sustainable solutions, creating long-term value while contributing to global climate goals.

“We are very pleased to welcome LGM Financial Services, a company that has contributed to the Canadian automotive industry for over 25 years, to our group,” said Kenichiro Hoshika, general manager of Marubeni’s Mobility Business Department. “By supporting LGM’s continued growth in the Canadian market, we hope to contribute to the development of the mobility industry and to enrich the lives of individuals and communities across Canada.”
