Trailer and intermodal equipment renter and lessor Trailcon Leasing opened a new facility in Edmonton, Alberta the second week of January.

Long-time branch manager Dave Ambrock officially retired on the same date, handing the reins to Laine Hrechuk.

“Dave has left big shoes to fill, having built such close, positive relationships with our customers,” said Hrechuk. “But I am committed to providing our clients with the same high level of service, and I am excited that we now have a larger, modern facility to meet their growing needs.”

The 20,000-square-foot building replaced an existing one, established in 2007, and is identical to a facility that will be opening in Calgary later this year.

Trailcon Leasing president Al Boughton travelled from the company’s head office in Brampton, Ontario to celebrate the special occasion. He noted that the new facility, with its many state-of-the-art features, will allow staff to continue to meet and exceed the expectations of the company’s expanding roster of customers.
