BakerCorp

What BakerCorp does

BakerCorp is a US-headquartered, private equipment rental company founded in 1942 and based in Seal Beach, California, with 501-1,000 employees. It operates as a specialist rental provider of tanks, pumps, filtration equipment, and shoring solutions, with the operational scope described in the input closely aligned with the broader United Rentals fluid, power, tool, and jobsite rental platform that spans five European countries (United Kingdom, Germany, France, Belgium, and the Netherlands) and serves enterprise industrial end markets.

Its core offering covers four product pillars: fluid solutions (storage tanks up to 35 m³, centrifugal and submersible pumps, bag and lamella filtration, dewatering systems, chemical dosing, and fluid support equipment such as containment berms and manifolds); power solutions (diesel generators from 13 to 500 kVA, battery energy storage packs at 45 kVA/60 kWh and 360 kVA/610 kWh, lighting towers, air compressors, and power distribution support); tool solutions (welding, cutting, industrial tools and machinery, lifting and hoisting, consumables); and jobsite solutions (storage, accommodation, transport, scaffolding, ladders, safety equipment). Recent technical additions include the Lamella Filter Tank, the 360 kVA/610 kWh battery pack, and an unlined 35 m³ storage tank, alongside a Greener Power Solutions partnership for hybrid temporary power.

The business model is project-based equipment rental monetized through quote-driven pricing, with revenue streams split between short-term rentals (including 24/7 emergency response) and long-term / on-site rental shop contracts. Go-to-market is sales-led and consultative, targeting enterprise customers in petrochemical, terminals and pipelines, wastewater, oil and gas exploration, power generation and distribution, manufacturing, construction and infrastructure, and emergency response. Certifications (ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 45001) function as enterprise gating credentials, and named customers include INEOS for a large temporary power deployment.
