CSI Leasing, Inc. is kicking off its fiscal year by commemorating a significant milestone in its history, as 2022 marks the company’s 50th anniversary. To celebrate this important anniversary in a meaningful way, CSI will make a $50,000 donation to the American Cancer Society as a presenting sponsor of the 7th Annual Champions of Hope Gala. CSI’s Chairman and CEO, Steve Hamilton, will co-chair the gala. He is also a member of the American Cancer Society CEOs Against Cancer St. Louis Chapter.

“I can’t think of a better way to celebrate CSI’s golden anniversary than to spend it supporting the Champions of Hope Gala and the Society’s mission of saving lives, celebrating lives and leading the fight for a world without cancer,” said Hamilton. “As with nearly every community, cancer has affected the CSI family in the past and present. We want to do everything we can to ensure the future is brighter so more people can celebrate these types of significant anniversaries too.”

In 1972, Ken Steinback co-founded “Computer Sales International” - a computer reseller in Oklahoma with just four employees. In less than 10 years, the company’s business switched from reselling to leasing and its headquarters relocated to St. Louis, MO, Ken’s hometown. Over the last five decades, CSI has grown to more than 1,300 employees spanning four continents, with additional growth plans in process.

CSI’s international expansion began in Canada in 1995, followed by an expansion to the UK in 1999. Global expansion throughout Latin America, Europe and Asia followed rapidly. In 1998, CSI purchased IT asset disposition (ITAD) specialist, EPC, Inc., to process and resell or recycle all leased equipment returns, effectively allowing the company to aid in the circular economy by means of proper IT lifecycle strategies. In 2005, the company changed its name to CSI Leasing, Inc. to better reflect its core leasing business. CSI was acquired by Tokyo Century Corporation in 2016, strengthening its funding support and market reach, and expanding its industry capabilities. Today, CSI prides itself on providing the same level of white-glove, personalized customer service as it did 50 years ago, now on a global scale.

CSI Leasing, Inc. is one of the largest independent equipment leasing and equipment lifecycle services companies in the world. Established in 1972, CSI has operations throughout the Americas, Europe and Asia-Pacific.
