In 1986, ORIX established OLP, Pakistan's first leasing company, as a joint venture with state owned financial institutions, etc., and started an equipment and automotive leasing business. In 1988, OLP became a publicly traded company following its listing on the Karachi, Lahore, and Islamabad stock exchanges (which were later integrated to form the Pakistan Stock Exchange in January 2016) and it has been leading the market in Pakistan as the country's largest leasing company.

SCLL was established in 1993. It was listed on the Pakistan Stock Exchange and was Pakistan's second largest leasing company. SCM was established in 1987 and is a major player in the Islamic investment trust sector in Pakistan. SCM is listed on the Pakistan Stock Exchange, and its portfolio consists of Ijarah financial assets, mainly for plant equipment, machinery, and automobiles.

Pakistan is a growing economy with a GDP growth target of 4.7% for FY2016³ . Its financial markets are expected to continue expanding with this economic growth.

Since the establishment of OLP in the '80s, ORIX has been utilizing the experience of operating its leasing business in Pakistan to expand its footprint in nearby Islamic markets by establishing subsidiaries in Oman, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE. Leveraging the network it has developed in Asia and the Middle East, ORIX aims to further expand and diversify its financial service operations in the future.
