Fast-growing Skyworks has acquired Gold Coast Hi-Lift, a family-owned and operated equipment rental business with locations in Fort Lauderdale and West Palm Beach, Fla. Gold Coast has more than 20 years in the equipment rental world. The addition of its two locations to Skyworks and its current Fort Myers and Sarasota, Fla., branches, gives the company a strong presence in Florida.
“We look forward to working with Joe and Frank Villella, Dillon Villella – branch manager of the Fort Lauderdale location since graduating college, Mark Buonomo, branch manager of West Palm Beach location for the last 20 years, and all their employees who have been with Gold Coast Hi-Lift for many years,” wrote CEO Jerry Reinhart in a letter to employees. “Joe Villella will be staying on with Skyworks to oversee the operations of both the Ft. Lauderdale and West Palm Beach locations.”
Skyworks, headquartered in Buffalo, N.Y., now has 25 branches. The company is No. 26 on the RER 100. It has locations across the Northeast, Midwest and Southeast United States. (Pictured above is Jerry R. Reinhart, right, his father Jerry Reinhart, left, and son.)
