Sustainable Rental - Avesco Rent

Our corporate culture as a rental company is based on sharing and using an asset for a specific time. Our slogan is “Rental is the intelligence of sharing”.

Our vision is on the one hand to improve efficiency and performance by meeting the needs of our customers, and on the other to find a balance to protect the environment.

Environmental criteria are an integral part of every new machine purchase decision and are subject to regular maintenance to ensure their durability, safety and comfort for our employees and customers.
