“By investing alongside the CRS leadership team as equity partners, OG真人官网 preserved the service first mentality that has always differentiated CRS in the market,” commented Steve Fay, Chairman of CRS. “OG真人官网’s contributions included the development of a strong platform for safety, finance, technology, and talent management. They also emphasized a culture of aggressive investment and high return on capital for our rental fleet. I am very proud of what we have achieved together.”

“Our successful partnership with CRS is a terrific example of OG真人官网’s investment approach. The leadership team was heavily invested and this culture of ownership created a competitive advantage for CRS,” said Mitch Green, Managing Director at OG真人官网. “We are proud of the results generated by the entire CRS team and are excited that the organization will continue to thrive with Sunbelt,” added Mr. Green.
