RSC Equipment Rental recently opened two new branch locations — its first in Portland, Ore., and a new, world-class, “green” facility at the TaigaNova Eco-Industrial Park in Fort McMurray, Alberta, Canada.

Chris Kelly will serve as RSC branch manager for the 14,000-square-foot Portland branch and warehouse facility, which opened June 9. Kelly will oversee a sales and operations staff with a combined 130 years of equipment experience.

“We are looking forward to building long-lasting customer relationships and providing the expert service and premium equipment RSC has become known for in multiple industries,” said Kelly.

Fort McMurray’s new 26,000-square-foot branch serves the Fort McMurray and Wood Buffalo region. RSC custom built its new facility in the eco-industrial park, which requires an environmental commitment by its tenants. The new location offers a prime location close to the oil sands and downtown, home to many projects within the regional municipality.

“We’re pleased to be part of the fast-growing community in Fort McMurray, where we already have a long-standing customer base and have served on numerous projects throughout the region,” said Eric Eccles, RSC branch manager.

RSC Equipment Rental, based in Scottsdale, Ariz., is No. 2 on the RER 100.
