ISS has won a large Facility Services contract at
the Swedish power plant, Forsmark Kraftgrupp. The contract runs five years from
January 2006 and is worth around DKK 500 million. The contract is to date one of
the largest and most complex service assignments in the growing Facility
Management market in Sweden. It involves several services from hotel, restaurant
and conference services, building maintenance and property services, to
decontamination.
Forsmark Power Plant, part of the Vattenfall group, is
situated on Sweden's east coast in Uppsala County. Each year it produces about
20 - 25 billion kWh, which corresponds to one-sixth of Sweden's total
electricity generation. The around 100 service employees at Forsmark will be
transferred to ISS.
"This is a very important assignment for ISS
Facility Services, also in an international perspective. We greatly respect the
assignment, but we are also confident that we have the required competences and
experience. We can therefore guarantee Forsmark simplicity and trouble-free work
days the next five years," says Hans John Øiestad, VD ISS Facility Services AB.
