PENNSAUKEN, N.J., Jan. 10, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- AFR Furniture Rental is proud to announce a recapitalization transaction in conjunction with the Global Special Situations team of J.P. Morgan Global Alternatives.
Since 1984, AFR Furniture Rental has been led by a single ownership team that customers and vendors have grown to trust. The same ownership team is proud to continue AFR's tradition of excellence with the additional financial backing through J.P. Morgan Global Alternatives.
