Cooper Equipment Rentals (Cooper), Toronto, has acquired Eze Rent-It Centre (EZE), British Columbia, Canada, and Stayner Rental (Stayner), Stayner, Ontario, Canada.
Established in 1986, EZE has three locations in the Fraser Valley area: Chilliwack, Aldergrove and Abbotsford. Russ Walsh, a co-owner of EZE, will assist in ensuring a smooth transition of the acquisition over the next several months.
“Cooper Equipment Rentals shares the same core values as EZE and the Walsh family. We are so happy to have Cooper carry on our business where EZE has operated for 35 years,” Walsh said.
Stayner was established in 1989 by Paul and Edina Van Staveren and has one location in Stayner.
“This is a great opportunity for our family, our staff and our customers,” said Paul Van Staveren. “We feel the Cooper family will grow and transition our business and take it to the next level, creating greater opportunities for all.”
“We are excited about the expansion of our operations in British Columbia and Southern Ontario,” said Doug Dougherty, Cooper CEO.
“We are looking forward to welcoming the solid team of rental professionals at both EZE and Stayner,” said Darryl Cooper, Cooper president. “They will all be a great addition to the Cooper team, and I am confident they will help deliver the high level of service that Cooper customers across Canada have come to expect.”
