PAI Partners-backed Apleona, an integrated facility management company, agreed to merge with Gegenbauer Group, a facility management provider. Financial terms were not disclosed. “Large, international customers are increasingly looking to outsource integrated facility management services and to bundle ever-larger service packages, digital solutions and products for energy-saving and decarbonization of building stock. Apleona will enter a new phase of growth, continuing the strategy of professionalizing and digitalizing internal structures, processes and how services are delivered. We will manage the investments in personnel and expertise that this requires even more effectively with Gegenbauer’s help as part of a bigger and more capable Apleona," Dr. Jochen Keysberg, Apleona CEO.
