the GV3 group,” said Emanuela Pege, President of Venpa. “We are therefore consolidating what has been achieved and at the same time broadening our horizons, building synergies, welcoming new realities specialised in rental and strongly rooted in their territory.

“We are thrilled that the entry into MinoEge has been successfully completed. It will bring an enrichment of skills for both companies, Venpa specialises in cold hire and MinoEge specialises in hot hire. Therefore, we are excited to start this new GV3 rental experience together with Dario and Matteo Giro and the MinoEge staff.”

Giro added, “I wanted to enhance what I have always supported, to improve relations between companies in the same sector. The two protagonists, in fact, have so far worked as fair competitors, basing their relationship on mutual esteem and respect for the same values, with solid and positive results for both.”
