Headquartered in Babylon, New York, American Maintenance is a leading provider of facility maintenance solutions.

The company has experience in the government, education, manufacturing and retail sectors, as well as in sports and entertainment and Class A office buildings. American Maintenance shares the KBS commitment to sustainability, having implemented green cleaning as their standard.  

“As organisations continue to adapt to evolving health and safety conditions surrounding the pandemic, they need facility service partners with experience and scale to navigate the road ahead,” says Mark Minasian, CEO and co-founder of KBS Services. “This acquisition allows KBS to expand its partnerships into new markets and geographies during this critical time.”
