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:
“Anyone who is practically acquainted with scientific work is aware that those who refuse to go beyond fact rarely get as far as fact; and anyone who has studied the history of science knows that almost every great step therein has been made by the “anticipation of Nature.””
—Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–95)
“Man is eminently a storyteller. His search for a purpose, a cause, an ideal, a mission and the like is largely a search for a plot and a pattern in the development of his life story—a story that is basically without meaning or pattern.”
—Eric Hoffer (1902–1983)
