Infinity Capital Partners arranged the transaction
Oklahoma City, OK – April 20, 2026
Trand, Inc. (“Trand” or the “Company”), a full-service crane rental company with over 36 years of experience specializing in wind energy maintenance and industrial services, and Centurion Group (“Centurion”), a global leader in the supply of rentals and services to critical industries for complex, challenging, and remote locations, today jointly announced that Trand, Inc. has been acquired by Centurion Group. Infinity Capital Partners (“Infinity”) served as the exclusive sell-side advisor to Trand, Inc.
Founded in 1990 by Terry and Sandra Arnett and headquartered in Sawyer, Kansas, Trand is a full-service crane rental company specializing in wind energy maintenance and industrial services. The Company operates a best-in-class fleet of high-capacity all-terrain and rough-terrain cranes, delivering operated crane rental services. With Terry and Sandra Arnett transitioning to retirement, Andrea Patterson (Arnett) will continue as President, ensuring continuity for customers and partners.
Euan Leask, CEO of Centurion, said, “We are delighted to welcome Trand into Centurion and look forward to working with the team to deliver the next phase of the company’s growth. Trand has a strong reputation for delivering complex, challenging lifting solutions in remote locations for the onshore wind sector, complementing and strengthening our existing U.S. crane business and allowing us to take on larger more complex work in the Mid-West U.S.”
Terry and Sandra Arnett, owners of Trand Inc., said, “We are proud of the business we have built and are excited to see it join Centurion. The group’s scale, resources, and strategic vision provide a strong platform for continued growth, and we look forward to seeing the business develop as part of the wider organization.”
“Working alongside my parents has been one of the greatest gifts of my lifetime,” said Andrea Patterson (Arnett), President of Trand, Inc. “This company was built on strong values, lasting relationships, and a standard of excellence that will always remain. This decision was made thoughtfully and with the future in mind, and it creates new opportunities for growth, expanded capabilities, and continued strength for our team and the customers we serve. I am incredibly proud of what my family has built over the past 36 years, and I am honored to carry that legacy forward into this next chapter.”
This acquisition supports Centurion’s ongoing expansion in the U.S., adding a highly specialized, mission-critical crane services platform with a strong and growing foothold in the renewable energy sector. Backed by Centurion’s global scale and financial resources, Trand is well-positioned to accelerate growth across its existing markets and broaden its geographic reach.
“Terry, Sandra, and Andrea have built Trand into a truly one-of-a-kind business that was known for its technical expertise, industry-leading equipment, and an unwavering commitment to the customers it serves,” said Chris Lee, Managing Partner at Infinity Capital Partners. “Joining Centurion gives Trand the global platform and resources to continue growing while preserving the values and culture the Arnett family has championed for over three decades. We are proud to have supported the Arnetts in finding the right partner to carry this legacy forward.”
Foulston Siefkin served as legal counsel to Trand, Inc. Terms of the deal were not disclosed.
