When you combine a strong product line with a high-demand market, managing company growth often requires help from strategic partners.

For Toronto-based Modu-Loc Fence Rentals LP, a provider of fencing for events and construction sites, an essential factor in achieving its growth goals has been the partnerships it has forged, says Clint Sharples, president and chief executive officer.

Modu-Loc was founded in 1995 by brothers Don and Darren Rintoul. Today the company has 175 permanent and 100 seasonal part-time employees in 17 locations across Canada. Throughout this growth, Sharples says strategic partnerships — from financial institutions to distributors — have underpinned its expansion.

The majority of Modu-Loc’s growth has taken place since 2005. At that point it only had two locations, both in Western Canada. “That’s when financial partners came in and helped fund our next stage of growth into Eastern Canada,” Sharples says.
