Volvo Rents Acquires Missouri Firm

Volvo Rents has announced the acquisition of Midwest Aerials and Equipment, Inc., a four-location construction equipment rental company with stores in St. Louis, Kansas City and Springfield, Mo. as well as one location in Bloomington, Ill.

The Bloomington location will be the company’s first location in Illinois. Meanwhile, the three locations in Missouri add to the company’s existing offices in Springfield and Hollister, Mo.

Mike Crouch, Volvo Rents vice president of business development, says, “Adding an aerial specialist to a full-line rental company sounds counterintuitive, but Dan Tumminello, Kevin Morrell, Dan Martino and Joe Alonzo (key executives with the company) have built such an energized and experienced team that the culture is truly an automatic and instant fit. We are fortunate to have their customer and jobsite knowledge in the Midwest as we continue to strategically grow our footprint.”

Dan Tumminello, co-owner of Midwest Aerials, says, “Moving forward, we are all very excited about being part of Volvo Rents because we have a culture that is very comparable to Volvo’s culture. They also believe that the customer comes first and their company is run like an even larger family than ours.  We are very excited about the additional fleet opportunities – adding dirt and other equipment to our aerial lift fleet – since that will add value for our customers. And that too, is what it’s all about.”
