History and Mission
The ERA was set up in 2006 to promote and represent an industry that was largely overlooked and seen as an integral part of the construction industry itself. By the end of 2008, the ERA represented over 4,200 rental companies in Europe, either directly or through its 13 rental association members (most of which are national in nature).

Famous quotes containing the words history and/or mission:
“America is the only nation in history which miraculously has gone directly from barbarism to degeneration without the usual interval of civilization.”
—Georges Clemenceau (1841–1929)
“We can come up with a working definition of life, which is what we did for the Viking mission to Mars. We said we could think in terms of a large molecule made up of carbon compounds that can replicate, or make copies of itself, and metabolize food and energy. So that’s the thought: macrocolecule, metabolism, replication.”
—Cyril Ponnamperuma (b. 1923)
