Service solutions provider Sodexo in Ireland has acquired Zehnacker, which provides specialist facilities management services for hospitals, nursing homes and other healthcare facilities.

The company will be renamed Sodexo Zehnacker Healthcare and the management team will remain the same.

Sodexo's Stuart Carter commented on the acquisition: "Our investment in Zehnacker marks a new and exciting phase for us here in Ireland. The new company will continue to trade separately but will now be working closely and alongside our existing management team and operations here, specifically in the area of new business development.”

“The amalgamation will allow us further access into the European healthcare markets," said Zehnacker Ireland managing director John O’Carroll, "thereby increasing the exchange of
technical advances, industry trends and benchmarks which may prove valuable to our customers in their pursuit of cost savings initiatives."
