ServiceMaster has entered into a purchase agreement to acquire Assured Environments, a leading commercial pest control company based in New York City. The company is best known for providing effective pest control services to property management, hospitality, retail, education and food processing facilities and its leadership in urban pest management. Assured provides pest control services to many of New York’s best-known buildings, including Rockefeller Center, Madison Square Garden, and the 9/11 Memorial Museum.
This is a potentially risky move for ServiceMaster in that Assured Environments is a union shop.
Assured Environments ranks number 25 on the PCT Magazine Top 100 for 2018, based on 2017 revenue of $31 million. It has branches in Manhattan, Long Island and in Cranford, NJ.
“Andrew Klein and the Assured team have an incredible reputation for exceptional customer experiences in one of the key urban markets in the world,” said Chief Executive Officer Nik Varty. “This acquisition is well-aligned with our growth strategy, and we are excited about the potential to leverage this great team and their capabilities as we look to accelerate our expansion into exciting urban markets.”
Founded in 1934, Assured Environments has built a culture of excellent customer service and employee satisfaction. The acquisition brings more than 200 full-time employees and marquee clients into the Terminix portfolio. Assured Environments will continue to operate as a separate company and as a Copesan partner, servicing national accounts in the New York area.
