Our story
In the early 1960s, manufacturers followed a business model that relied on customers to purchase expensive test equipment for short-term projects, burdening them with unnecessary capital expenses.
That’s when an IEEE-certified manufacturer rep named Jim McCann Sr. saw a chance to provide these customers with alternative buying options that included renting and leasing. The company he founded was Continental Resources, Inc. (ConRes).
As a founder of the test equipment rental industry, our mission is simple: deliver you the right equipment, with the right accessories, on time and calibrated to meet manufacturers’ specifications.
Whether your organization is looking to rent, lease or buy test equipment, our standards for quality and trustworthiness are the highest in the industry because, at the end of the day, we believe that you’re not looking for just a test equipment provider—you’re looking for an expert partner.
