LOS ANGELES–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Zello, a private investment platform focused on scaling exceptional businesses in the broader entertainment industry, announced today that it has acquired Cinelease, a market leader in lighting and grip rentals, from Herc Rentals (NYSE: HRI). The transaction marks a defining move in Zello’s strategy to support the infrastructure behind content creation — and power the future of global film and television production.

For over 45 years, Cinelease has been a trusted name in production support— renowned for its reliability, deep industry relationships, and service-first mindset. Under Zello’s ownership, the company will continue to be led by industry veterans Mark Lamberton, Chris Rogers, and Gannon Murphy. Built on core values of responsiveness, dependability, and drive, Cinelease offers a robust inventory of lighting and grip equipment and serves as the professional manager of studio facilities owned by leading real estate investors. With operations spanning every major production hub in the U.S. and Canada, Cinelease supports thousands of film, television, and commercial productions annually through its integrated studio and equipment offerings.

“This marks an exciting new chapter for Cinelease,” said Mark Lamberton, President of Cinelease. “We’re a company built on service, relationships, and delivering when it counts—led by people with a deep understanding of what it takes to make it happen. Zello brings deep respect for our foundation and the operational scale to help us go even further for the entertainment community. Together, we’ll keep raising the bar for production support across North America.”
