FBR Staff Writer Published 15 January 2009

Foodservice and support services company Compass Group North America has completed the acquisition of US-based Kimco Corporation, a provider of support services operating mainly in the business and industry sector.

Through the acquisition, Kimco becomes a wholly owned subsidiary of Compass Group North America under Eurest Services, a division of Compass Group North America focused on delivering support services to the business and industry sector. Kimco will maintain its operational structure as it merges with Eurest Services.

Bobby Kutteh, CEO of Compass Support Services, said: We are excited to be gaining such capable and experienced management talent. Kimco enables us to deliver services to additional segments of the market, and the acquisition positions Eurest Services for continued growth.

John Barrett, CEO of Kimco Corporation, said: This is truly an exciting development in the evolution of the company. Kimco and Compass Group share a commitment to quality, service and employee development. We are now positioned to be even more valuable to our client partners in this increasingly competitive environment.

Kimco is a provider of soft services, mainly janitorial, to commercial, retail and industrial customers in 37 states. The acquisition will enable Eurest Services to better serve existing and future customers through its expanded national presence. Crothall Services Group, the sister company of Eurest Services, will continue its focus on the healthcare sector.
