Brenntag, the global leader in chemicals and ingredients distribution, has announced the acquisition of Rental Service Specialty LLC, a rental equipment supplier based in Broussard, Louisiana. RSS specialises in providing specialty equipment for pipeline integrity and maintenance services in the region. This acquisition will further strengthen Brenntag’s N-SPEC pipeline services division and allow for expansion into new markets.
By integrating the Rental Service Specialty team into the N-SPEC Pipeline Services operations, Brenntag aims to offer a wider range of pipeline services and maintenance solutions to a larger customer base. Blake Willis, President of Coastal Chemical, a Brenntag Group Company, expressed his excitement about the acquisition and the opportunity to grow the business together.
N-SPEC, a business unit within Brenntag’s Coastal Chemical, is dedicated to providing sustainable solutions for pipeline cleaning and integrity maintenance. The addition of RSS will enhance their regional market presence and expand operations to include circular economy practices, such as extending the lifecycle of customers’ equipment through the services provided.
RSS brings valuable expertise and industry-specific documentation to Brenntag. They have a strong reputation for quality control programs and the use of high-pressure temporary piping and equipment, which are essential for work on liquid and natural gas pipelines, particularly in the growing liquified natural gas market. In 2023, RSS reported an annual revenue of approximately $10 million.
Todd Naquin, Co-Owner of Rental Service Specialty, expressed his enthusiasm about joining the Brenntag Group, as it provides the resources and reach to offer their equipment, expertise, and services to a broader range of customers. He sees this acquisition as an opportunity to take their long-standing business relationship to the next level.
The financial details of the deal have not been disclosed, but the signing and closing of the transaction occurred simultaneously. This strategic acquisition demonstrates Brenntag’s commitment to expanding its offerings and strengthening its position in the market.
