Clairemont Equipment has been satisfying Southern California's equipment needs since 1970. In 1970, Charles and Clara Zagami along with their two sons Ron and Jerry, shared a vision for the future and bought the A-Z Rentals franchise in the Clairemont Mesa suburb of San Diego. Initially specializing in party goods, medical equipment and small homeowners equipment; their vision was of a much larger company. A few days later the company changed its name to Clairemont Equipment Rentals and added several brands of small and medium sized equipment to their product line, and their vision was becoming a reality. The Company incorporated in 1974 as Zagami Inc. while retaining the Clairemont Equipment Company name that it was identified with. In 1974 the Company purchased a vacant lot located at 4726 Convoy Street and built a larger rental store to serve homeowners and the construction industry with general construction supplies and equipment. Following completion of the building, Clairemont Equipment established their first major equipment distributorship with the Bomag Compaction line. Their success with Bomag paved the way for the Company's expansion with other equipment franchises.
