What ABM Industries does

ABM Industries Incorporated is a publicly traded (NYSE: ABM) integrated facility and infrastructure services provider founded in 1909 and headquartered in New York, NY. The company serves more than 20,000 clients across 19+ industry verticals — including aviation, healthcare, higher education, K-12, commercial real estate, data centers, semiconductors, manufacturing, government, sports & entertainment, and power generation — through a workforce of more than 100,000 employees across the United States, the United Kingdom, and Ireland. ABM bundles janitorial, engineering, technical, parking & transportation, EV/microgrid, and support services into integrated offerings (notably ABM Performance Solutions, ABM Energy & Power Solutions, Mission Critical, and Sustainability) delivered primarily through multi-year managed services contracts via direct enterprise field sales and channels such as NASPO ValuePoint for public-sector work.

At the center of the operating model is ABM Connect, a proprietary AI/IoT data intelligence platform that unifies sensor, occupancy, and operational data to deliver predictive maintenance, smart routing of service teams, and real-time visibility across facilities; the platform has been independently recognized with an Edison Award, inclusion in Fast Company's World's Most Innovative Companies, and an IABC Gold Quill Award. Revenue is generated contractually through multi-year service agreements across commercial, institutional, and government clients — FY2025 revenue was $8.75B (+5% YoY) and Q2 2026 reached $2.3B (+8.4% YoY), with Technical Solutions (+27%), Aviation (+20%), and Manufacturing & Distribution (+16.5%) carrying the growth — and the mix has been deliberately reweighted toward higher-margin technical, energy, and mission-critical segments via the RavenVolt, Momentum Support, and WGNSTAR acquisitions. Strategic narrative emphasizes self-performed labor (up to ~90% of contracted work), embedded supervisors across 300+ local branches, and repositioning from a commoditized janitorial vendor to a consultative, technology-enabled facility partner.
