Rent-A-Container Acquires Rental Assets of Containerize Corp. – Its Second Acquisition in Q4 2024

ANN ARBOR, Mich.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Rent-A-Container ("RAC" or the "Company") a portfolio company of Kinderhook Industries, LLC, today announced the acquisition of the rental assets of Containerize Corp. This acquisition strengthens Rent-A-Container’s position in the Southeast by increasing available rental assets so that the company’s Douglas, Georgia branch operation can better serve demand in the growing Florida/Georgia market.

Containerize is RAC’s fifth acquisition in the last 18 months. "Over the past few weeks, we have been working with Containerize to reach an agreement to supplement our increasing demand at our Georgia operation,” said RAC Director of Mergers and Acquisitions Michael Ferrantino. “The purchase of these rental assets is another step forward in our growth strategy in the Southeast, and a good example of a creative deal structure – where we acquired a portion of the overall business in a deal that fit well for both sides,” said Ferrantino.

RAC now operates 12 branches in the USA and has plans to expand further in 2025. RAC’s General Counsel, Chris Orlovsky, served as legal counsel on the transaction.
