Durante Rentals, a leader in the New York-area construction equipment rental industry, has announced that it will be opening a new location in Queens, N.Y., to further increase its capacity to serve the N.Y. metro area. The 68,000-square-foot property provides a central location for the company and improves its ability to serve the civil infrastructure, heavy highway work, and high-rise construction contractors in New York City.
“This new hub will be instrumental in providing us with greater operational efficiencies,” said CEO Anthony Durante. “After a three-year search for the right location, the timing coincides with our unionization in June. In anticipation of infrastructure rebuilding, we are now poised to play a major role in the development of our great city and beyond.”
Durante Rentals is currently No. 81 on the RER 100 and is a seven-time INC 5000 Hall of Fame award winner. For more information about Durante Rentals, visit duranterentals.com.
