Indiana native Kelly Williams will serve as region vice president for RSC Equipment Rental, which is opening a regional office August 1.

RSC Equipment Rental is opening a new regional office in Indianapolis to better serve its Midwest customer base and support anticipated growth in the region. The office will serve an RSC region including Ohio, West Virginia, Tennessee, Kentucky, Indiana, Illinois, Iowa and Michigan.

The region has more than 44 branch locations.

Kelly Williams, who was born and raised in Indiana, will serve as region vice president.

“I’m excited to be coming home to lead this important new region for RSC Equipment Rental,” said Williams. “This regional office allows RSC to be closer to many existing customers while adding flexibility for future growth opportunities.”

Williams said a 3,200-square-foot temporary office space officially opens Aug. 1 and a larger, permanent facility including a rental operation will open in early 2012. The Indianapolis office is one of 10 regional offices RSC has throughout the United States.

“We plan to hire locally and grow our geographic footprint in this region while doing what we do best — deliver value and serve our customers,” said Williams.

Based in Scottsdale, Ariz., RSC Equipment Rental is No. 2 on the RER 100, and has about 450 locations in 41 U.S. states and three Western Canadian provinces.
