What ATALIAN Global does

ATALIAN Global is a France-headquartered, privately held facility management group that delivers integrated, multi-service building and workplace support to enterprise B2B clients across 15 European countries. Founded in 1944 and headquartered in Vitry-sur-Seine with a legal seat in Paris, the group employs more than 63,000 people representing 155 nationalities and operates through over 100 local proximity offices in France and direct country entities spanning Western, Central, and Eastern Europe (Belgium, Netherlands, Luxembourg, Germany via Servest, Poland, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary, Romania, Serbia, Bosnia, Croatia, Turkey, and Russia). Its service portfolio is delivered in-house across nine disciplines: integrated facility management, cleaning and related services, technical maintenance and energy, security and safety, front of house, airport assistance, catering, landscaping, and finishing works.

The company serves six end-markets — tertiary/corporate offices, retail, transport and logistics, food and agriculture, industry, and healthcare — addressing pain points such as multi-vendor complexity, regulatory compliance (HACCP, sterilization, GDPR), 24/7 operational continuity, and sustainability performance. Underlying capabilities include certified management systems (ISO 9001 and related), integrated information, management and reporting tools, and an innovation ecosystem with startups and universities; ATALIAN also owns DPS, a social-integration subsidiary acquired in 2016.

Revenue is generated through long-term managed-services contracts, priced on a quote-based B2B model with scope and terms negotiated per client, and supplemented by standalone specialized services. The business is sales-led and consultative, addressing complex multi-service tenders for corporate, administrative, healthcare, industrial, and retail clients. The group is currently undergoing a major ownership transition: following CD&R's 2022 involvement, the 2023 divestiture of US operations to GDI, and a 2025-2026 comprehensive recapitalization with consensus on a change of ownership, ATALIAN is reshaping its European core under a new executive team (Frédéric Baverez as Executive Chairman since October 2023 and Norbert Moussart as CEO International since January 2025).
