Brad Barber, chief executive officer of H&E, stated, “The acquisition of One Source demonstrates our commitment to growth through expansion into highly prospective geographies and complements our successful warm start strategy. This year, we have announced eight branch additions through September, including recent openings in Hollywood, FL; New Castle, DE; and Indio, CA. Our expansion into the Midwest and further penetration into the southern U.S. positions H&E for increased participation in the non-residential construction and industrial end-markets. The Company remains committed to further growth of its pure-play rental business and other strategic initiatives.”

Following the closing of the transaction, H&E’s equipment rental operations extend across 120 branch locations in 29 states.
