January 22, 2007—UNICCO Service Company and Service Management International (SMI) announce that UNICCO has become an affiliate member of the consortium. UNICCO, with exclusive rights to provide facilities services to SMI consortium customers in North America, enables SMI to continue to extend its Soft Services facilities services to additional global markets.
UNICCO reports that it has been delivering cost-effective integrated facilities services in North America for more than 50 years. With more than 16,000 employees UNICCO adds that it has the experience and resources to be the largest, most capable private integrated facilities company in North America. Company has developed GreenClean.
SMI provides both business development and operational services that, it says, bring together top-tier facilities services providers that transcends national borders. The consortium enables companies to post a single tender to be delivered by multiple affiliated contractors under a single management structure and reporting system.
This approach has several advantages for customers, according to the two companies. It enables them to simplify their tender process; sets international benchmarks for performance, training, safety, environmental stewardship, and other metrics; helps companies expand internationally, either through expansion or acquisition, by enabling them to quickly and efficiently integrate facilities services.
Through UNICCO, SMI now has substantial access to the North American market.
