ECJ EUROPEAN Cleaning Journal

Global facility services company ISS - headquartered in Denmark - has reached agreement to acquire Tomagruppen, a Norway-based majority family-owned facility services company founded in 1978. It specialises in provision of cleaning, catering, property management and other support services to both the public and private sectors - and also has business in Denmark.

Kasper Fangel, group CEO of ISS commented: "We are excited to announce this agreement, welcoming more than 4,000 new colleagues - as well as new customers. Beyond expanding our presence in the Nordic region, this bolt-on acquisition is a strong strategic fit with ISS' well-performing business in both Norway and Denmark.

"It will drive efficiencies and unlock clear synergies, while enabling us to further scale and enhance our Integrated Facility Services (IFS) offering for customers across the region."

"For Tomagruppen, this is an exciting milestone," added Frode Monsen, group CEO of Tomagruppen. "We are very proud of what we have built, and we look forward to becoming part of the ISS Group. Together, we can strengthen our offering to customers and create new opportunities for our employees and partners in the years ahead."
