Ramirent has acquired the machinery and equipment rental business of the Czech

with three new outlets in Hradec Králove, Pardubice and Ceska Skalice.
“The acquisition is in line with Ramirent's strategy of developing a nation-wide
coverage in its markets. NTC has a geographical presence which complements
Ramirent's existing network and brings us closer to our customers in the East
Bohemia region in Czech Republic. I warmly welcome NTC's employees into the
Ramirent family”, says Tomasz Walawender, SVP, Ramirent Europe Central.
