Volvo Rents, Shippensburg, Pa., recently opened a new rental center in Scott City, Mo.

The new store is Volvo Rents’ sixth in the state of Missouri — joining existing locations in Hollister, Kansas City, Springfield and St. Louis — and will service all of southeastern Missouri and certain areas in northern Kentucky and southwestern Illinois.

“While some sectors of the economy continue to slow, the construction industry has been flashing signs of improvement, as has the demand for construction equipment rental,” said Mike Crouch, vice president of Business Development for Volvo Rents. “This puts us in a very favorable position as we continue to expand our footprint in various markets across the country, including Missouri.”

The new rental center carries equipment and tools for the construction, commercial, industrial and homeowner markets.
