Xylem Expands Rental Offering with Xylem Rental Solutions
Xylem is presenting a new approach and look to its dedicated rental solutions business. The company, which already has rental branches and offers a fleet with a broad range of sizes and configurations along with specialty products and systems not elsewhere available, is re-branding as Xylem Rental Solutions.
Xylem designs and manufactures its own equipment, with proven brands such as Godwin, Flygt, Goulds Water Technology, AC Fire Pump and MJK.
“An ever-increasing number of industries are considering renting pumps and related equipment to efficiently and cost effectively run their operations,” said Gregg Leslie, director of rental market development, Americas. “Whether our customers require fast-track temporary emergency response, or reliable, long-term operation, the depth of our expertise and breadth of our fleet will help them solve every water challenge, from the basic to the most complex.”
The company’s technological authority enables it to customize and optimize its rental solutions to help customers solve complex water problems across numerous industries and applications such as agriculture, commercial buildings, construction, dewatering, environmental, industrial, marine, mining, municipal, oil and gas, power utilities and tunneling.
Beyond specializing in the design and installation of rental solutions, Xylem provides holistic project management services and highly responsive customer support, ensuring minimal downtime, greater efficiency and reliability.
“The days of using multiple suppliers for a single project are waning fast,” said Leslie. “Industry professionals want a partnership where they can get all their specific water challenges met from a single supplier who also has the know-how and support services to back those system solutions up. It’s a Xylem capability that we’re excited to be offering and committed to expanding.
Already a major player in rental, Xylem is No. 15 on the RER 100.
