MISSISSAUGA, ONTARIO – Still in the first year of its new name and brand look, the SMS Rents equipment rental network has again expanded its presence in Ontario with new store locations in Ottawa and Mississauga.
Marcel Langlois, President of SMS Rents, announced the opening of a 9,000 sq. ft. Ottawa store and a 12,000 sq. ft. Mississauga store, noting that the company has now opened three new Ontario locations in as many months. Including the new Stoney Creek location that was opened this past summer, SMS Rents now operates 13 stores in Ontario and Quebec. The remaining stores are comprised of former Komatsu Rents locations, which introduced “a new name, a renewed promise” last December.
According to Langlois, the two new stores provide a bridge between successful operations in the company’s strategic regions. “We are well established in the GTA and Montreal,” he commented. “Customer response to our new organization has been very encouraging. Ottawa is a logical next step for us as we strive to bring our Job Ready rental service to customers throughout southern Ontario.”
The Mississauga store strengthens plans for the firm’s further growth through the Toronto region, expanding service capabilities between the recently opened Stoney Creek store and the well established SMS Rents store in Guelph.
In a related announcement, SMS Rents has appointed Robert “Bob” Taylor as Regional Manager for Southern Ontario. Bob has enjoyed a long and accomplished career in the rental business with senior marketing and management positions in well established rental firms.
Like all stores in the SMS Rents network, both of the new stores will offer a full line of rental equipment from aerial lifts to light tools and compaction, as well as complete sales and service for the Komatsu Utility line of compact equipment. SMS Rents offers a “one stop” rental equipment concept, stocking a full range of contractor supplies to meet every need on the jobsite, from safety gear to fasteners.
Customers and contractors are invited to meet the staff at any of the new locations for introduction to the Job Ready philosophy that is driving the growth of SMS Rents. “While we are a growing force in the Ontario rental market, we are firmly committed to the local focus of every store,” says Langlois. “That’s our key to ensure the best in personal service and the right equipment to meet local customer needs.”
