Cramo to ring NASDAQ closing bell in New York

Cramo will ring the NASDAQ stock market closing bell in New York today in recognition of its upcoming 60^th birthday. Cramo shares are listed on NASDAQ’s OMX Helsinki stock market.

“It is great to be able to celebrate Cramo’s 60 year history at the traditional bell ceremony and at the same time convey a message about the prospects of the equipment rental industry and Cramo’s role in it”, said Vesa Koivula, Cramo chief executive officer and continues.

The ceremony will give Cramo some international media coverage. The bell ringing ceremony is broadcast live on international TV channels and on the NASDAQ tower screen in Times Square.

“Equipment rental is still young as an independent industry in Europe. Sixty years ago Cramo (at the time Rakentajain Konevuokraamo) was a pioneer when equipment rental started its transformation from a marginal support function storing equipment at the back yard of the construction companies, to a modern industry”, said Mr Koivula.

“Today we are the second largest player in European equipment rental and proudly call ourselves a rental services company as there is so much more we offer to our customers.”
