Kärcher and ISS Group agree to global partnership
 
Five-year contract with world’s largest facility services provider signed
 
ISS A/S of Denmark, a global market leader in facility services, and Alfred Kärcher GmbH & Co. KG, the world's leading provider of cleaning technology, have signed a global partnership agreement.
 
Under the agreement, which will run for an initial five years, Kärcher will supply cleaning equipment to ISS Group companies worldwide.  
 
In the context of ISS’s new global supplier strategy, Kärcher was selected against several rivals and, along with one other vendor, is now an exclusive supplier to ISS. Peter Schack, Global Head of Procurement at ISS A/S said, “We selected Kärcher based on its comprehensive product portfolio and tremendous innovative strength. This cooperation will enable our company to set uniformly high standards for the cleaning equipment used worldwide, thereby offering our customers the guarantee of an excellent cleaning result.” 
 
Markus Asch, Deputy-Chairman of the Kärcher Management Board, sees the signing of this contract as an endorsement of Kärcher’s strategic alignment. He said, “We are grateful for the great confidence that ISS has placed in us and our products. Focussing on our customers and their cleaning needs is central to our corporate strategy. This cooperation agreement with ISS shows that we are on the right path with this approach.”
