Americo, one of the world’s largest floor pad manufacturers, is pleased to announce a new strategic partnership with ISS, a universal outsourcing provider of facility management services. Americo has been named the preferred global supplier of floor pads to all ISS locations worldwide. The agreement includes delivery of floor pads and floor care accessories to ISS in many of the 50+ locations ISS has globally.
Americo will provide floor pads and related cleaning products to ISS facilities in North America through strategic distribution channels. In Europe and other select parts of the world, Americo and ISS have partnered with Sealed Air – Diversey Care division, the ISS global partner for cleaning and hygiene solutions, to deliver Americo’s floor pads to the marketplace under the newly launched TASKI-Americo® brand. “We are excited to have been selected as a preferred supplier by ISS. This alliance further supports Americo as a global leader and undoubtedly exhibits the strength of the value proposition and expertise we bring to the market place. We look forward to working in partnership with ISS and their preferred distribution networks globally, to provide the industry with an inclusive offering,” said Chief Executive Officer of Americo Manufacturing Company, Lenny Shutzberg.
Americo is well-known for their unique green position, producing consistently high quality products along with their environmentally friendly manufacturing processes. Joe Mann, Group Category Manager, Cleaning for ISS Group Procurement said, “When ISS initiated the supplier vetting process, it was crucial to find an organization with a strong global presence and a vision that was complementary to our own core values. Americo is one of the most technologically advanced producers of nonwoven materials in our industry, and their market depth and unique eco-friendly position make Americo an ideal partner for ISS. Working collaboratively with Americo and Diversey Care, ISS will now be able to supply a comprehensive system to our customers with one of the most optimal cleaning solutions available in the industry. Diversey Care will offer this complete system of equipment, chemicals and floor pads—all under the TASKI® brand. These synergies will bring efficiency to our supply chain, deliver value and savings to ISS operations, and help ISS deliver more excellent service to our customers.” Olivier Braun, Building Care Portfolio Director at Diversey Care added: “The integration of the TASKI Americo® floor pad line into our solutions is one more step into the extension of our leadership in Floor Care. It enables us to strengthen the value we deliver to ISS and all our customers in optimizing operational efficiency and reducing total costs of cleaning, while uncompromising on sustainability.”
