What Gestam does

Gestam Argentina S.A. is a privately held Argentine facility management company founded in 1998, headquartered in Vicente López (Buenos Aires metropolitan area), operating with 1,001–5,000 employees. The company delivers four integrated service lines — Cleaning (Limpieza), Maintenance (Mantenimiento), Security (Seguridad), and Customized Services (Servicios Personalizados) — to enterprise clients across banking, telecommunications, retail, food and beverage, healthcare, transportation infrastructure, and government. Its service portfolio combines specialist labor with mechanization and standardized procedures, and includes differentiated offerings such as surface-specific cleaning methods, preventive and predictive maintenance programs, and integrated electronic-plus-personnel security solutions with active and passive supervision.

The company sells through a direct enterprise sales motion targeting large organizations, government institutions, and commercial enterprises that require integrated facility services rather than point solutions. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; service quotes are issued per scope based on facility type, frequency, and client-specific requirements, with revenue generated primarily through managed services contracts. Gestam holds a comprehensive ISO certification portfolio (ISO 9001:2015 across Gestam Argentina and Gestam Seguridad, ISO 14001:2015, ISO 45001, plus legacy OHSAS 18001), supporting eligibility for formal procurement by multinational and institutional clients.

In 2010, the company undertook a comprehensive restructuring that doubled its workforce, stabilized its finances, and multiplied business volume by five, establishing its current scale. Beyond commercial operations, Gestam maintains an active social responsibility program including a scholarship program for employees' children (30 scholarships awarded in 2016 from 236 applicants), construction of community facilities such as the Centro de Atención a Víctimas de Violencia Familiar for Fundación Margarita Barrientos, and a donated Training Center in Chaco province. No external funding rounds, acquisitions, or international subsidiaries are disclosed.
