Luxembourg based international rental company Mateco has opened a new facility in Lași, northeast Romania, its 11th location in the country.
The new facility fully stocked with equipment
The company says the new location will act as the template for a modernisation programme that will next focus on sites in Cluj-Napoca, Brașov and Constanța, before being rolled out across the rest of the company’s existing branch network in Romania, aiming to improve turnaround and delivery times throughout the country.

Moving our operations to a custom built, international standard facility allows us to keep pace with our partners’ large scale projects.”
