Midwest Companies, Hampshire, Ill., a Chicago-area waste management and construction services company with multiple subsidiaries, has launched Patriot Sales & Rental as the latest addition to its portfolio of brands. The brand will offer a range of trailer types including dump, low-bed equipment, utility and gooseneck deck-over trailers.
“Midwest Companies has provided truck and trailer repair for more than 30 years, and adding a trailer rental and sales business is a natural extension of our existing operations,” said Steve Berglund, CEO and founder of both Midwest Companies and Patriot Sales & Rental. “I saw customers investing in trailers that didn’t get the job done or didn’t last, and I wanted to give them a local option for top-of-the-line equipment they could rely on for decades.”
Berglund has been named a Notable Leader in Sustainability by Crain’s Chicago Business for his work in sustainable recycling creating new products from hard-to-dispose materials.
Patriot Sales & Rental is a certified N&N dealer and is the sole provider of N&N galvanized trailers in Illinois, the company said, adding that galvanizing is considered a more environmentally friendly coating option than other methods and provides trailers with a longer life span.
“We know that galvanized trailers are an investment, but it’s an investment that pays off in the form of rust resistance, durability, lower maintenance costs and more years of use,” Berglund said. “We want the best options for our customers and appreciate the positive response to the launch of Patriot Sales & Rental.”
