Equipment leasing company Pacific Rim Capital Inc. has expanded its headquarters in a move from Aliso Viejo to Irvine.
Pacific Rim, which leases forklifts, cranes and other material-handling equipment, has 48 employees and about $600 million worth of equipment under management.
It had about $187 million in revenue last year and has been growing its business in Mexico and other international markets, said Chief Executive David Mirsky.
“Twenty percent of our business is coming from outside the U.S.,” he said.
Its percentage of revenue from international operations is up from about 5% a couple of years ago.
The 13,000-square-foot office near the Irvine Spectrum is 30% larger than Pacific Rim’s earlier location.
“It’s very much an expansion, not only in space but in technology,” Mirsky said.
The company, for instance, has installed a 90-inch screen in its conference room to cater to the increasing need for conference calls as its international work grows.
Pacific Rim is ranked No. 9 on the Business Journal’s latest list of top minority-owned businesses with headquarters
