We are excited to announce that Royal Wolf Australia, a United Rentals Company, has acquired the container rental, sales and modification division of Price & Speed Containers Pty Ltd.
Price & Speed have been in operation for over 30 years and operate over five businesses at its Botany site in south-eastern Sydney, including a quarantine facility, container depot operations, permanent cold storage and a container rental, modification and sales business.
An Australian, family-owned business founded by Kevin Malouf, Price & Speed Containers supplies new and second-hand storage containers for storage, work site accommodation, refrigeration, transportable bars, and modular site facilities.
Royal Wolf Managing Director Neil Littlewood said Price & Speed Containers was a quality business and was a natural fit for Royal Wolf. The acquisition complements Royal Wolf’s existing Sydney business and provides substantial synergies.
The Price & Speed fleet is relatively young, and the mix of units is similar to Royal Wolf’s offering, with a generous number of refrigeration units.
“We are confident this acquisition offers huge potential to enhance and strengthen our market-leading position in Sydney and New South Wales, and we look forward to the successful completion of the acquisition process,” Mr Littlewood said.
This acquisition builds on Royal Wolf's long history of strategic growth and expansion, including its acquisition of Spacewise, a leading container and storage company in New Zealand.
“In our 26-year history, Royal Wolf has focused on service and innovation. As Australasia’s leading supplier of containerised solutions, we will continue to offer the hire, sale, and innovative design of specialised shipping containers.”
