Each September, Singapore’s Marina Bay comes alive under the lights as the Formula 1 Singapore Grand Prix transforms the city into a world stage. As one of Asia’s largest and most prestigious F1 hospitality events, the night race welcomes tens of thousands of guests and demands world-class infrastructure to ensure food and beverage operations operate seamlessly.
For over 17 years, Lowe Rental has been the trusted equipment rental partner behind the scenes, supplying refrigeration and catering equipment on a fully managed event rental service, at a scale simply unmatched by local providers.
Challenge
Delivering premium hospitality within the unique setting of an urban city-centre street circuit brings a host of challenges. Space is limited, timelines are tight, and logistics are complex. The event’s organisers needed an equipment partner capable of supplying a vast range of refrigeration, catering equipment, and walk-in cold storage to support expanding hospitality services. Sourcing a single local supplier with not only the fleet but the experience necessary to deliver, added yet another pressured layer of complexity.
Rental Solution
Each year, Lowe Rental delivers more than 1,300 pieces of refrigeration equipment, walk-in cold rooms, and catering equipment, all installed beneath the grandstands across the circuit within a tightly managed 40-day period.
Tight timelines and logistical constraints, including rapid decommissioning and removal immediately after the event, are met with ease thanks to a fully managed event rental service. This rental service includes delivery, installation, onsite technical support throughout the event, and rapid decommissioning once the race concludes. Drawing on decades of experience in global food and beverage exhibitions, the regional teams at Lowe Rental bring the operational expertise needed to navigate the complexities of a high-pressure and large-scale project of this nature.
