The ERA - European Rental Association is a trade association of the equipment rental sector in Europe.

History and Mission

The ERA was set up in 2006 to promote and represent an industry that was largely overlooked and seen as an integral part of the construction industry itself. ERA represents over 4,300 rental companies in Europe, either directly or through its 14 rental association members (most of which are national in nature).

Structure

ERA, like most trade associations, uses working committees which meet regularly throughout the year and develop deliverables that may be of use to member companies and associations.

Currently there are 5 committees:

• Equipment Technology
• National Associations
• Promotion
• Statistics
• Sustainability

Current members

International Exhibitions

ERA is the organiser behind the International Rental Exhibition, IRE, which takes place every 3 year in Amsterdam, at the RAI Exhibition Centre.

The event raised the profile of the rental industry in Europe, standing alongside Intermat and Bauma as the two other large European construction exhibitions.
