We are a chain independent machine rental company with focus on environment, quality and service.

Sørby Utleie (4tommer AS) was founded by twin brothers Erik and Lars Sørby as a carpentry company. After buying a lift for their own use in 2006, they started renting it out and the demand was so great that they hardly had time to use it in their own business. They therefore decided to buy another one to cover their own need for a lift.

After running the company at home from the garage, we now need more space. We rent premises in Fossumveien 2 in Spydeberg. We are still doing the carpentry part, but the rental business is starting to take more and more of our attention.

We get our first employee in the rental business and decide to put the hammer on the shelf and focus only on the rental business.

We change our company name from 4tommer AS to Sørby Utleie AS. The turnover and activity are in rapidly growth, and we open our second department in Sarpsborg.

We outgrow the building we rent in Fossumveien 2 and build a new HQ in Spydeberg. This was a big investment, but necessary to handle an annual growth of more than 50% a year.

2016 Sørby Utleie buys Grøstad Utleie in Vestby where we then start our third department.

We buy Sandmaskin Utleie in Halden and start up our fourth and currently last rental department. We thus have 4 strategically placed departments along the main traffic arteries in Østfold/Akershus to take care of the market that is in the central east country area.

Sørby Utleie receives the rental award and is, among other things, honored for having built and developed a company which in our industry scores highly for quality, service, follow-up of its customers and impressive profitable growth. The company is the region's good example of business development with local roots and a good reputation. In 2018, we will also move into brand new premises at the Sarpsborg department.

After a careful planning and construction process, we move into perhaps the world's most modern and innovative rental center and new HQ on Holtskogen Tomter. Here, everything has been arranged for sustainable solutions, HSE, Flow in processes and the possibility of expansion.

We are moving the Vestby department to new premises where we will enter new, larger and adapted premises. Erik and Lars win the prize for Rental persons of the year in the European Rental Association. Part of their reasoning was as follows; The two recipients have, in addition to developing a successful rental business and new technology business, also contributed to the development of the rental industry in Norway.
