Hartela to transfer equipment to Ramirent

The Hartela construction group has signed a letter of intent with Ramirent Finland for the transfer its equipment operations to the rental company.

The deal would see Ramirent taking over the equipment and related staff etc of Hartela, Rakennusosakeyhtiö Hartela and Hartela-Forum on a rental/lease basis. The deal also includes a long term agreement in which Ramirent would supply Hartela with a full range of rental equipment and services.

Negotiations over the contract and the re-organisation of Hartela’s machinery operations have started, with the aim to have it all completed by the end of November. The deal is similar in structure to one that the two companies made last year for the transfer of the Hartela tower crane fleet and operations to Ramirent.

Kari Varkki, head of business development at Hartela-yhtiöt said: “The aim of the cooperation agreement is to ensure access to a modern evolving fleet of machinery and an operational model that improves our competitiveness and ability to serve our customers even better, both centrally and through our local operations”.

Anna Hyvönen of Ramirent Finland added: ”Hartela has a long experience of operating in the Finnish construction market. Our co-operation has deepened since 2014 when it outsourced its tower crane operations to us. Our aim is to offer Hartela world class equipment rental services and improve co-operation further”.
