Canadian market leader adds American Sanican (Portland, OR) and Cap City Rentals (Austin, TX), strengthening its position as the acquisition company of choice in portable sanitation.
TORONTO–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Total Sanitation Services (TSS), North America’s leading platform for portable sanitation rentals and related services, has expanded its network with the acquisition of American Sanican (Portland, OR) and Cap City Rentals (Austin, TX). These mark TSS’s first acquisitions in the United States, extending its family-of-brands model across borders and reinforcing its position as the go-to partner for portable sanitation operators considering a sale.
“With the addition of American Sanican and Cap City Rentals, we’re proud to mark our first step into the U.S. market,” said Ed Genovese, CEO of Total Sanitation Services. “We’ve built our success on a founder-led, family-brand approach that continues the culture and customer relationships of most brands we acquire. TSS provides the foundation for our brands to grow, while respecting the legacy each owner has built. For operators considering a sale, we want to be the first call you make.”
Preserving Local Identity, Driving Growth
TSS operates under a family-of-brands model, providing shared operational resources, technology, and growth expertise to each acquired business while preserving its legacy, team, and service culture. This approach enables operators to maintain the community trust they’ve earned while gaining access to the tools, scale, and support needed for long-term success.
American Sanican, known for its portable restroom rentals in Portland, OR, and beyond, and Cap City Rentals, specializing in portable bathroom trailers and single unit rentals in Austin, TX, both join TSS’s growing roster of market-leading brands across North America. Each brand is defined by a strong commitment to Customer Care – an uncompromised core value at TSS.
A North American Platform for the Future
With this expansion, TSS unites leaders in portable sanitation across Canada and the United States under one banner. The company is actively pursuing additional acquisitions to strengthen its coast-to-coast coverage and meet the needs of construction, infrastructure, industrial, and event markets on both sides of the border.
“We want to create the best possible outcome for owners, employees, and customers when a business transitions,” Genovese added. “Our model isn’t about stripping away what makes a local company special—it’s about amplifying it with the resources of a North American network.”
