What UPRENT does

UPRENT is a Riga, Latvia-based specialized equipment rental company founded in 2013, focused on pumping systems and complementary temporary infrastructure for construction, municipal, and industrial projects. The company rents sewage, wellpoint, submersible, drainage, high-pressure, and industrial pumps; trench shoring systems; generators from 0.5 kW to 1 MW; dredging equipment; and mobile road plates. Service offerings include groundwater lowering (to depths of 10 meters), sewage bypass, industrial reservoir cleaning, groundwater treatment, temporary power solutions, trench protection, and pressure testing, delivered alongside a telemetry-based remote monitoring capability for deployed assets.

The company operates 13 rental offices across four countries — Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia, and Poland — providing physical proximity to project sites and rapid deployment. UPRENT is ISO 9001:2008 certified (since 2015) and serves a customer base that includes construction majors (Aldesa Nowa Energia, Terkan, Budimex, Ostas Celtnieks), municipal water utilities (Rīgas Ūdens, Tallinna Vesi), industrial clients (Latvijas Finieris), and energy infrastructure operators (Ķegums Hydroelectric Power Plant). Revenue is generated through equipment rental fees, equipment sales, and specialist service contracts on a project-by-project basis, with B2B direct sales through the rental office network.

In June 2022, UPRENT was acquired by Finnish Renta Group Oy, becoming a subsidiary of a Nordic construction equipment rental platform with broader geographic and operational scale. Prior to the acquisition, the company had raised €225,619 in a 2016 funding round from BaltCap and ZGI Capital to support fleet and Baltic market expansion.
