The acquisition of these assets expands Cinelease’s capabilities and strengthens its position as an entertainment infrastructure platform, providing customers with more of the equipment and services needed to support complex productions, events and large-scale projects. The acquisition follows a series of strategic investments that have expanded Cinelease into rigging, portable solutions, fencing, barricades and other site services. Cinelease is integrating these capabilities under its banner to give customers access to more critical infrastructure through one trusted partner across North America.
