by Shane Henson — May 15, 2013—Pristine Environments (PEI), a provider of specialized facilities maintenance (FM) solutions, announced this month that it is diversifying its client portfolio, adding significant scale to its operating platform and dramatically expanding its service delivery capabilities throughout North America through a merger with KBM Facility Solutions (KBM), a specialty provider of facilities and maintenance services.
Founded in 1981 and headquartered in Southern California, KBM specializes in providing maintenance and janitorial services to biotech, aerospace, technology and retail facilities. KBM operates a national client service center in Palm Springs, California, where the company manages more than 3,000 facilities for its national footprint clients to include some of the largest consumer retail brands in the world.
KBM provides sustainable/green cleaning services and was one of the first businesses in its industry to commit time and resources to developing and maintaining a sustainability report. In addition, KBM is committed to reducing the impact its business operations have on the environment through corporate recycling programs, installation of water-reduction measures, investing in technology that has significantly reduced paper consumption, and conversion of its vehicle fleet to hybrid and fuel efficient vehicles, it says.
The KBM/Pristine Environments’ executive management team will be led by Brian Snow, CEO, along with an industry-leading team of professionals that includes Maureen Gray, the founder and CEO of KBM. The combined company provides a comprehensive suite of FM and high-performance green cleaning services to critical environments, biotech+pharma, healthcare, retail, education, secure facilities and commercial real estate clients throughout North America.
