The Hertz Corporation has announced that Hertz Dayim Equipment Rental has further expanded in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia by opening a greenfield location in Riyadh, the country’s capital and largest city.

The new location will serve Central Province-based infrastructure, commercial, government, military, construction, event services, and industrial sectors.

As part of its many activities in the region, the company is now a registered vendor with multiple contractors of the $US 22bn Riyadh Metro project, a six-line, 85 station public transport construction initiative taking place over a five year period.

Hertz Dayim Equipment Rental’s new location in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia will serve multi-billion USD initiatives in infrastructure, commercial, government, military, construction, event services and industrial sectors of the Central Province.

Similar to the company’s Dammam and Jeddah locations in the Eastern and Western Provinces respectively, the Riyadh operation rents and sells equipment and tools as well as providing comprehensive fleet management services.

Hertz-Dayim’s portfolio includes equipment for earth moving, aerial, material handling, power, electrical, and compressor requirements.

The company also offers its clients safe operation equipment training.

Lois Boyd, president, Hertz Equipment Rental Corporation, said: “Hertz Dayim Equipment Rental, the joint venture of Hertz Equipment Rental and Dayim Systems, is continuing its rapid growth across the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

“The Central Province is considered a strong market opportunity due to massive spending on large-scale urban infrastructure projects.

“This includes the Riyadh Metro project as well as multi-billion dollar initiatives for the financial district, medical cities, commercial centres and highways and bridges.

“Our aim is to provide first class, value-added equipment rental solutions to customers in the region.”
