The compressor Rental Division of Integrated Air Solutions, which was established only a year ago, is seeing exceptional growth, with many sizeable long-term contracts that call for large-capacity machines having been secured. “While there are a number of contributing factors, including the supply of top quality, reliable rental machines, our success is first and foremost thanks to our dedicated rental team,” says managing director, Wayne Jacobs. “It’s a new division and a new team, but their years of experience in the sales, rental and air compression space, combined with their commitment and passion, is making a difference.”
“We have expanded our original fleet of four secondhand machines to 50 units, 46 of which are brand new,” says rental sales manager, Rudi Denton.
“Our work only really begins once we have delivered the rental machine, because we have to ensure that we support the customer throughout the rental agreement. The Rental Division is on call 24/7, with a response time of approximately 60 minutes in Gauteng and KwaZulu-Natal, and 24 hours in neighbouring countries. If on-site repairs are not possible, customers are provided with a replacement unit.
“Our success has not made us complacent, but rather even hungrier for more business. The team will continue pulling out all the stops to uncover the countless opportunities that are out there so that we can continue to grow and corner the rental business,” says Jaobs.
