Erich Steinreiber, Country Manager of ISS Austria, comments: 

“We have worked with JH Catering for a very long time. The acquisition adds to the internal investments in organically building our self-delivery catering capabilities in Austria – an offering which is in particular targeted at our strategically important key account customers. I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone involved, especially the founders Josef and Edith Hermann, for having reached a positive conclusion for both parties after intensive negotiations. Mr. Hermann will continue to support us with his experience during the integration of JH Catering with the ISS brand. I want to welcome our new colleagues to the ISS family and look forward to our mutual success!”

Josef and Edith Hermann, Managing Directors of JH Catering, said: 

“In partnering with ISS, we are particularly pleased that we have found a company that continues our chosen path and where the focus is on the employees. We wish our successors all the best.”
