Azuma Leasing is a leasing company headquartered in Austin, Texas. The company leases furniture and housewares to residential and commercial customers in 15 U.S. metropolitan markets.[1]
David Newberger founded Azuma as a startup company in 1993.[2] He sought competitive advantage by installing washer and dryer hookups [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.
