Stephenson’s Rental Services has made a strategic investment in Centre de Location G.M. Inc. (Location G.M.), a Québec-based equipment rental company with four branches. This marks the first step for Stephenson’s in its plan to expand in the province of Québec, and increases its national footprint to three provinces and 49 branches.

Headquartered in Mississauga, Ontario, Stephenson’s Rental Services is a long-established and leading player in the dynamic Canadian equipment rental sector. It also provides complementary services, including equipment delivery and repair. The business serves commercial traders, home and condominium builders, general contractors, DIY, and institutional and industrial customers, helping businesses and communities grow.

For over 50 years, Location G.M. has been offering specialized rental equipment and repair services for the construction sector. Location G.M.’s operations in Quebec will continue under its own brand.

Oaklins’ team in Canada acted as the exclusive financial advisor to Stephenson’s Rental Services Inc. in this transaction.
