Base Craft acquires Hollywood Trucks to form Film And TV Transportation Equipment Giant

NEW ORLEANS - March 5, 2020 - PRLog -- Base Craft, LLC is pleased to announce the acquisition of Hollywood Trucks, LLC. The deal, which began in the fall of 2019, creates the nation's fastest-growing provider of transportation equipment for the film, television and entertainment industry.

A leader in the film transportation equipment business, Base Craft was founded in Los Angeles in 2001 and established its New Orleans-area headquarters in 2006. It has since expanded its operations to Atlanta and Charleston with plans for further growth in other markets.

For the last 18 years, Base Craft (basecraftllc.com) has provided custom-built vehicles, talent and office trailers, generators and other on-site equipment for motion picture and television productions across the country. This recent expansion includes the assimilation of many Hollywood Trucks team members and expands the Base Craft fleet to more than 450 production vehicles.

Hollywood Trucks was founded in 2007 with the goal of providing the industry with the most state-of-the-art and eco-friendly transportation equipment and logistics available nationwide. Hollywood Trucks maintained exclusive studio relationships in Louisiana, Mississippi, and Georgia with a fleet of over 200 units. In addition, Hollywood Trucks made headlines when it unveiled its innovative talent trailer - the industry's first trailer fully powered by clean energy.

Most major film studios now demand the use of energy-efficient and waste reduction tactics for their projects. Base Craft is a pioneer of the movement and invests heavily in technology to meet the efficiency demands. The acquisition of Hollywood Trucks' assets further enhances Base Craft's green initiatives.

Base Craft is recognized by industry leaders for high-quality equipment and excellent customer service. Their roster of clients includes local and national studios in addition to on-site support for big-budget blockbusters and on-going television series.

"Our goal in providing clean, reliable, energy-efficient, and state of the art industry-leading equipment continues to be our priority and core value at Base Craft. We have always believed that our key to success is fostered by the relationships with our customers, employees, and drivers within our industry. We are excited to incorporate new technology in our overall green initiatives in the coming years," said CEO Jeffrey Gowing.

"This is a milestone acquisition for Base Craft that creates substantial value and further solidifies our place in the top 5 of transportation equipment providers," said company co-CEO Welch Lambeth. "Our complementary visions for a greener future for the industry and guiding principles create a seamless union positioned to serve more productions in more locations".
