Quixote Acquired The Production Truck (TPT)
TPT has established a reputation for excellent service backed by a deep inventory of equipment ideally suited for Film, Television & large-scale event rentals. TPT’s 20 plus years & strong leadership team is now backed by Quixote’s extensive resources & network.
TPT was founded by William Hadley in 1998. William’s original inspiration for TPT was to streamline the production process by providing more rental items under one roof. TPT’s team of 20 is dedicated to providing Class A equipment backed by an unparalleled service standard.
Says William “We have always been extremely customer-centric. We listen, then we over-deliver. Quixote’s vision is exactly in line with this.”
Mikel Elliott, Founder & CEO of Quixote states “Philosophically TPT is a perfect fit for us. They have the newest & deepest inventory in the industry & their team is committed to the same level of service excellence as we are."
Quixote Also Opened a New Stage in Hollywood
