Jani-King New Zealand

What Jani-King New Zealand does

Jani-King New Zealand, legally Jani-King (NZ) Limited and operating under the NZervio Group of Companies, is a commercial cleaning and facility services franchise network that has served New Zealand businesses since 1997. It delivers scheduled janitorial services (office cleaning, floor care, kitchen and restroom sanitation, ICT equipment cleaning), specialty one-off cleans (post-construction, end-of-lease), window cleaning, disinfection, water blasting (Blast Off / JK Building Wash T/A JetX), pest control, and a workplace wellness offering branded JK Building Wellness. The company positions itself around sustainability-led differentiation, deploying probiotic cleaning chemistry, indoor air quality sensors, and Toitū Envirocare-certified Scope 1/2/3 carbon emissions reporting, supported by a stack of external credentials (Toitū Enviromark Diamond, Toitū Carbon Compatible, ISO 45001:2018, ISO 14064-1:2018, Tōtika, Great Place to Work).

The operating model is a franchise network of 532+ franchise business owners operating across 6 regional offices — Auckland North (Rosedale), Auckland South (East Tamaki), Hamilton/Bay of Plenty, Wellington (Porirua), and Christchurch — providing coverage from the top of the North Island to the bottom of the South Island. Jani-King serves 3,126+ active customers across nine vertical segments: business services, education and childcare, fitness and sport, medical and aged care, veterinary, retail and supermarkets, manufacturing and industrial, transport and logistics, and hospitality. Named accounts span enterprises, education providers, nonprofits, and government entities, including Spark Arena, Reading Cinemas, AUT Millennium, Massey University, Canterbury Rugby Union, the New Zealand Film Commission, Fred Hollows Foundation NZ, The Cancer Society, and The Court Theatre.

Revenue is generated primarily through monthly recurring commercial cleaning contracts plus franchise licensing royalties, with one-off specialty cleans, pest control, and JK Building Wellness add-ons contributing secondary streams. Pricing is quote-based and customized per site assessment; the company carries $40 million in public liability insurance and routes client and franchisee interactions through dedicated online portals. The company is privately held as part of NZervio Group, has no disclosed funding rounds or M&A activity, and does not report revenue publicly.
