Antoine Namand, country manager of ISS France, stated:
Delivering multiservice contracts is one of our strengths. To do so, we rely on our teams of business experts and our know-how in self-delivery to, for instance, the automotive sector. This allows us to massively reduce the use of subcontracting.
