Our Name
Our name, Novuna, is made up of two Latin words – Novo, meaning new, and Una, meaning together.
We chose our new name when our existing parent company, Hitachi Capital Corporation, merged with Mitsubishi UFJ Lease and Finance Company Limited in April 2021. Novuna signifies a new chapter for our business and describes the collaborative, forward-looking business we have built together in the UK.
