Combining logistics, back-office and laboratory premises the new facility will benefit customers across Europe, according to Electro Rent.
The large facilities on the Malines Intercity Business Park are the result of significant investment by Electro Rent and provides it with even greater capacity to enhance its service offering for an increasingly diverse and growing customer base across EMEA.
Electro Rent’s improved Mechelen facility will support the company’s efforts to become a single-source solution for the test equipment needs of its customers. The company is already building on long-standing original equipment manufacturer (OEM) partnerships with recent distribution agreements to sell new equipment from Keysight Technologies, Tektronix and Keithley.
These agreements complement Electro Rent’s extensive equipment rental service, used equipment sales, financial solutions and asset optimisation services.
“This expansion of our facilities in Belgium will enable us to enhance the service we offer and meet the growing needs of customers from industries that include aerospace, data centres, defence, electrification, semiconductor/AI, 5G, energy and telecommunications,” said Leo Dukker, VP of Operations. “It solidifies our position as the go-to global provider of electronic test equipment rental and procurement services."
The new updated hub complements a second European logistics hub, offices and laboratory facilities in the UK. In addition, local offices or support contacts are present across Germany, France, Spain, Italy, the Netherlands, and Eastern Europe.
Electro Rent’s single-source offer looks to mix rental, new and pre-owned purchases with financial solutions and asset management solutions. This strategy provides better availability of high-value test assets, faster project completion and more effective use of test budgets.
