The founder of Atlas Crane Service Inc. (Atlas) has sold the company to Ares Management.

Founded in 2009 and headquartered in Aurora, Illinois, Atlas is a full-service crane rental provider offering turnkey solutions, primarily for mission critical maintenance, repair and repowering of wind turbines.

Ares Management (NYSE:ARES) is a leading global alternative investment manager offering clients complementary primary and secondary investment solutions across the credit, private equity, real estate and infrastructure asset classes.
