The Production Equipment Rental Group (PERG) serves the specific needs of the film and digital community within PLASA. The group’s main focus is on bringing together and assisting rental companies offering cameras, accessories, grip and lighting equipment. The group grew out of the former Production Equipment Rental Association which merged with ESTA in the summer of 2009.

Any member of PLASA working in these market sectors may become a member of the Production Equipment Rental Group by contacting the Council Manager, Harry Box, at .

The PERG Council is comprised of volunteer leaders from rental companies, manufacturers and insurance companies and is responsible for the development and implementation of programs and services for members in the film and digital markets including motion picture, television and commercial production.

Members of the Production Equipment Rental Group are strongly encouraged to participate in, and promote, the Missing Equipment List. This list serves as an important industry resource enabling rental companies to post equipment that has been stolen. Any rental or repair facility can log on to the list 24 hours a day if they suspect someone has approached them to buy or repair stolen equipment. New listings are also automatically emailed to members of the Production Equipment Rental Group.
