Alternative investing firm Cerberus Capital Management said that one of its affiliates has agreed to acquire Kellermeyer Bergensons Services (KBS) from affiliates of GI Partners for an undisclosed price.

Based in Oceanside, California, Kellermeyer Bergensons Services provides technology-enabled, integrated facility management services to customers in North America.

Through its differentiated technology and suite of facility services, the multi-service building services provider is said to offer high-quality and cost-effective solutions to customers in the industrial, logistics, commercial, retail, and grocery segments.

Robert Warden – Co-Head of Private Equity and Senior Managing Director at Cerberus Capital Management said: “This is an exciting opportunity to partner with a market-leading business supported by a tech-enabled platform.

“With its full-suite of solutions and leading technological capabilities, KBS has become the partner of choice for customers in the facility services industry. We believe there are attractive opportunities ahead for the Company and look forward to working alongside Mark and the talented KBS team to further build on its success.”

Some of the services offered by Kellermeyer Bergensons Services are contract cleaning, exterior services, technical services, and floor care among others.
