Cinelease, founded in 1977 and based in Los Angeles, provides lighting and grip equipment, power distribution, grip trucks, expendables, and sound-stage facilities to film and television productions. It serves both small and large-scale projects and supports shoots wherever they take place. Over the decades, the company has built a reputation by supplying equipment and related services to thousands of feature films and TV programs. The offering covers the core on-set resources productions rely on during production. Expansion outside its base has included a Toronto warehouse opened in 2022 and ongoing Albuquerque operations expansion in 2024, reflecting a broader North American footprint. In August 2025, Zello Group announced its acquisition of Cinelease from Herc Rentals, a notable corporate development for the company.
