Kuiphuis Crane Rental takes over Prima Crane Rental from Hardenberg

There were already five branches of Kuiphuis Crane Rental and as of Oct. 10 a sixth branch will be added. The company is taking over Prima Kraanverhuur from Hardenberg. Today the final agreement was signed. Kuiphuis will take over all machine operators and equipment.

Bob Bruijsten, director-owner of Kuiphuis Crane Rental explains, "Scale is very important in our industry and we consciously choose to work from multiple branches. The closer to the customer, the lower we can keep prices by saving on travel time and costs. Prima has good operators and a nice customer base, we can move forward with that."

Harry Haverkorte, owner of Prima Verhuur is pleased with the acquisition. "We made the strategic choice to only rent out unmanned equipment. Kuiphuis wants to keep the branch in Hardenberg and can make good use of our machinists. They now have many more opportunities than we could have offered them in the long run."

Regional prominence

Kuiphuis has been located in Dedemsvaart for more than four years and in the last year sales there increased by 300%. With the new branch in Hardenberg, the Oldenzaal-based company strengthens its position in the region. Kuiphuis is investing in the Hardenberg branch by purchasing new equipment immediately. "In doing so, we listened carefully to the current customers," says Bruijsten. "They wanted a total supplier and we can now offer them that certainty."

Especially at the highest level

Kuiphuis Crane Rental stands for certainty. The certainty that the right crane will be present at the agreed time and that the work will simply be done properly. With a fleet of more than 75 cranes for every possible job and operators with extensive experience, the company works for virtually all sectors of the construction industry. In the industrial sector, Kuiphuis mainly works for the food and beverage industry, large metal, recycling companies, petrochemicals and fine chemicals.
