The transaction marks another strategic step in building a nationwide network and following the transaction Renta will have more than 60 depots across Sweden.

The acquisition is expected to be completed during October.

“We are delighted to welcome the Gustafssons team into the Group and look forward to working with them. The acquisition of Gustafssons strengthens our position in eastern parts of the country and is a logical step towards our ambition to build a nationwide rental network in Sweden. We are very pleased to join forces with Gustafssons and look forward to the journey ahead. “

Being part of Renta will ensure continued high-quality services for our customers, provide a good home for our employees and enable us to take on larger projects and challenges. I am convinced that together with Renta and by continuing to operate our depots in the same spirit as before, we will become even stronger in our region.”
