Superior Rents and Sales Inc., an equipment rental company which provides tools and equipment for homeowners and contractors, has opened a branch in Wichita, Kan., the company's fourth location. Superior, headquartered in Springfield, Mo., has two branches in Springfield and another in Joplin, Mo.

Superior Rents offers saws, drills, backhoes, skid-steer loaders, excavators, aerial lifts, telehandlers and more, for home improvement, lawn and garden, construction and industrial applications. Superior was founded in 2005 by two brothers, Steve and Dan Wohnoutka. Since expanding in Springfield and Joplin, the company has experienced steady growth every year.

“Entering the Kansas market will be our first venture outside of Missouri, increasing our footprint for larger regional customers,” said company president Steve Wohnoutka. “We’re extremely excited by the initial positive response from the Wichita customer base. Our principal goal and growth strategy has always been to provide our customers with the very best, new equipment possible.”
