“This has been a year of outperformance throughout all of our geographies and equally a year of positioning for future sustainable growth and success,” said Brendan Horgan, CEO, Ashtead Group, which is the parent company of Sunbelt Rentals.

“Our model has demonstrated for years the ability to thrive during good times, and we can now see clearly that during more challenging periods in the economic cycle, rental, and in particular, our unique approach between general tool specialty and clustered markets, is designed to deliver a reliable alternative to ownership to an ever-broadening lineup of end market.”

Acquisitions during the Q4 2021 included:

  • On Feb. 3, 2021, Sunbelt US acquired the business and assets of DC Rentals — a general tool business in Connecticut.
  • On March 26, 2021, Sunbelt US acquired the business and assets of Harford Rental Service — a general tool business in Maryland.
