Bregal Sagemount announced a majority growth investment in A-Rent, a Burr Ridge, Illinois-based provider of electrical test equipment rentals, calibration and asset management services. Founded in 2019 by Paul Seppanen with backing from Sterling Partners, A-Rent serves electrical testing and engineering firms, contractors, utilities and equipment manufacturers.

The company operates four distribution facilities and expects to open a fifth in Hillsboro, Oregon, in late 2026. The investment will support additional test equipment, new locations and expansion of its load-bank offering for data-center testing and commissioning. Lincoln International advised A-Rent.
