Zio Studio Services Founder Louis Dargenzio and Line 204 Founder Alton Butler

Both companies will continue to concentrate on our specialties, while leveraging the other’s industry knowledge and inventories to create the most value for our clients.

LOS ANGELES (PRWEB)
November 04, 2019

Line 204 and Zio Studio Services, two of Los Angeles’s top production rental companies, establish a synergistic brand partnership focused on the future of the film and digital media industry. Together, the companies provide greater convenience and a one-stop shopping solution for production vehicles and equipment needs, which is currently unavailable industry-wide—until now. Clients will continue to call their representative of choice at either company, then pick-up and return vehicles and supplies from Line 204’s massive 120,000-square-foot production facility in Sun Valley.

Both parties bring something valuable to the partnership. Founded by Louis Dargenzio, Zio Studio Services offers motorhomes, trucks, restrooms, carts, gators and studio services, while Line 204, founded by Alton Butler, offers production equipment inventory and a Sun Valley location as a central pick-up and drop-off zone. Line 204 is currently ramping up construction on its approved 10-acre, 240,000-square-foot, 10-stage studio lot, which will be Los Angeles’s largest studio facility built from the ground up in more than 30 years. Zio Studio Services will be the exclusive vehicle provider of Line 204’s new Sun Valley-based studio facility, which is slated to officially open its doors in 2021.

“Alton and I have been brainstorming for years on ways we could work together that would simplify the rental process for clients, and this deal does exactly that,” said Dargenzio. “Clients will be able to call one phone number and have access to what we believe is now Hollywood’s largest rental inventory of production vehicles and supplies. Both companies will continue to concentrate on our specialties, while leveraging the other’s industry knowledge and inventories to create the most value for our clients. It truly is a win-win.”

“Line 204’s clients wanted us to get back into the transportation game, and rather than starting from scratch, I looked toward Louis on this natural alliance,” said Butler. “And, by outsourcing our transportation needs to Zio, 204 can stick with what we’re good at and focus on our future expansion plans. This partnership puts us at the top of the game.”
