CINE ELECTRIC JOINS SUNBELT RENTALS UK & IRELAND

Cine Electric, one of Ireland’s longest established specialist providers of lighting, generator hire and installation services for the film, TV, theatre and events sectors, has joined Sunbelt Rentals UK & Ireland. 

Founded in 1976, Cine Electric has supported productions, studios, outside broadcasts, live events and permanent installations across Ireland, building a strong reputation for technical expertise, reliable delivery and trusted customer relationships. The addition of Cine Electric strengthens Sunbelt Rentals’ specialist capability in Ireland, while ensuring continuity for customers across the sector. 

The combined offering will support customers across lighting, generator hire, power, installations and wider production environments, alongside Sunbelt Rentals’ wider capability across camera, lighting, grip, power, broadcast and event production solutions. 

Mike Pollard, Managing Director for Film and TV at Sunbelt Rentals, said: 

“Cine Electric has been part of Ireland’s production landscape for nearly 50 years, supporting film, TV, theatre, events and outside broadcast customers. We know the team well and have worked alongside them for many years, so this is a natural next step for both businesses. Customers will continue to receive the support they know from Cine Electric, with the added benefit of access to the wider equipment, support and specialist capability available through Sunbelt Rentals. We’re very pleased to welcome Cine Electric’s teammates into the business and look forward to building on the support they provide to productions across Ireland.”

“This is a great opportunity for Cine Electric to become part of Sunbelt Rentals and build on the strong business we have developed over many years. Our customers will continue to work with the team they know and trust, while benefiting from increased capacity, broader support and the strength of a business that shares our commitment to service and technical excellence.” 

Customers will continue to be supported by the existing Cine Electric team, while benefiting from access to Sunbelt Rentals’ extensive fleet, the latest equipment and specialist production capabilities.
