Rent-A-Container Completes Acquisition of “Stuff-It Storage”
ANN ARBOR, Mich.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Rent-A-Container (“RAC” or the “Company”) a portfolio company of Kinderhook Industries, LLC, today announced the acquisition of Stuff-It Storage, LLC (“Stuff-It”). Stuff-It, recently named Best Storage Facility in Springfield, Illinois by the Illinois Times, provides new and used portable storage containers and container offices for rent or sale. The business was founded by Harvey Horton, who will remain with RAC post-close as he works to expand the company’s offerings in the Midwest.
“While we often open greenfield branch locations, it is always faster if we are able to partner with local business operators like Harvey so we can hit the ground running”
Stuff-It is RAC’s fourth acquisition in the last 18 months and marks the opening of its 10th Branch Location – a key step in the development of a nationwide network. “Over the past few years, we have been working to identify strategic acquisitions where we can expand our branch network in areas where customer demand is high,” said RAC Director of Mergers and Acquisitions Michael Ferrantino. “While we often open greenfield branch locations, it is always faster if we are able to partner with local business operators like Harvey so we can hit the ground running,” said Ferrantino.
With the addition Stuff-It, RAC now operates 10 branches in the USA and has plans to expand further in 2025. RAC’s General Counsel, Chris Orlovsky, served as legal counsel, and Alvarez & Marsal advised RAC on its financial diligence process.
