Volvo Rents has acquired Max Equipment Rentals, a two-location construction equipment rental company with stores in southern California. The move brings the company’s statewide presence to a total of seven rental centers.

Mike Crouch, vice president of business development at Volvo Rents, said, “California’s economy is growing again, and will see strong economic growth over the short and long term, translating into greater construction activity. The acquisition of Max Equipment Rentals is a strategic move that will strengthen our presence in California and puts us in a favorable position to meet what will undoubtedly translate into a growing demand for construction equipment rental.”
