3M announces partnership with System4

3M and commercial cleaning franchiser System4 have announced a partnership this week.

The Building and Commercial Services Division of 3M hopes to provide eco-friendly, efficient and high-quality commercial cleaning services which will set "a new standard" for the industry, according to System4’s president and chief executive Phil Kubec.

Jon Beltz, manager at the Building and Commercial Services Division, added 3M is "excited" about the partnership.

"Commercial cleaning customers across the nation will benefit tremendously, getting the best possible service at a great value," he commented.

The deal is also likely to be to the advantage of System4’s franchisees, who will be able to use 3M’s products, which include Green Seal certified chemicals. They will also be provided with training solutions.

People in science sales jobs may also be interested in 3M’s acquisition of Peruvian coated abrasives manufacturer Abrasivos. The deal was announced this week, although no details on the transaction have been released.
