ISS A/S, a global leading facility services provider, and PostNord, a leading logistics company in the Nordics, will significantly expand their partnership, almost tripling the size of the current contract to approximately SEK 450 million annually.

Successively ramping up from 1 April 2016, ISS will deliver all facility services to PostNord across the Nordic countries in an Integrated Facility Services (IFS) solution. The new contract runs for three years (until the end of 2018) with a possible further two-year extension.

'We are very happy to be awarded this expansion and extension of our cooperation with PostNord. It is a clear testament to the skills of our organisation across the Nordics, the strength of our integrated solutions offering, and the level of trust we have built with PostNord,' said Regional CEO of Northern Europe Troels Bjerg, ISS.

The geographic reach of ISS, the ability to deliver solutions for complex demands, and the combination of quality and costs were important elements when PostNord chose ISS as the future facility services partner.
'We are very satisfied with the agreement with ISS. It gives PostNord the ability to focus on our core business, delivering mail, packages, and logistics solutions to our customers. The contract lives up to our ambition to have group wide solutions with high quality while ensuring lowest possible costs,' said Johanna Allert, CTO and member of the Executive Team at PostNord.

With the expanded and extended partnership, PostNord will reduce the number of facility service subcontractors for the company across the Nordic countries from approximately 1,000 to one main partner, ISS.
