CE Rental Inc. recapitalizes Skyline Tent Company

CE Rental Inc., Raleigh, N.C., has recapitalized award-winning Skyline Tent Company, Charlottesville, Va., and Charleston, S.C.

“The partnership between CE Rental and Skyline Tent Company greatly expands our strategy of being the premier full-service rental provider on the East Coast,” says James Auerbach, senior vice president at CE Rental. “We are excited to leverage the exclusive tabletop and tenting offerings of both CE Rental and Skyline in all of our existing markets and beyond.”

Skyline offers an extensive inventory of Navi-Trac®, Century® and Losberger structures; sailcloth and frame tents; custom lighting and BilJax® TF2100 engineered flooring.

“Our new combined group will work together to elevate the quality of events in the markets we serve, and will allow us to offer all of our customers the very best combination of tents, tabletop rentals and service across the Southeast,” says John Hingeley, president of Skyline Tent Company.

CE Rental was acquired by private equity firm Dubin Clark in February 2017. Since then, the event rental company has expanded its geographic footprint and product offering through the acquisitions of Capital Party Rentals (Dulles, Va.), Festive Fare Rentals (Charlottesville, Va.) and former Classic Party Rentals locations in Raleigh and Charlotte, N.C.

“Both CE Rental and Skyline are leaders in their respective markets,” says Brent Paris, Dubin Clark managing partner. We are enthusiastic about the expanded growth opportunities by bringing together two of the premier tabletop and tenting providers in the industry.”
