These services are delivered to clients across industries including retail, hospitality, healthcare, offices, schools, and industrial/logistics sectors.

Direct peers

• ISS A/S: Global facility services leader and Samhall's largest direct competitor in Swedish cleaning, holding ~17% market share vs. Samhall's ~5%. Both deliver integrated cleaning, property, and workplace services to enterprise and public-sector customers, and ISS has hired former Samhall employees, illustrating the labor-market overlap.
• Coor Service Management: Leading Nordic-based IFM (integrated facility management) provider headquartered in Sweden. Directly competes with Samhall in property services, cleaning, and workplace services across the same enterprise and public-sector customer base in the Nordics.
• Städarna AB: Swedish commercial cleaning company and direct cleaning-market competitor in Sweden. Competes with Samhall in retail, office, and warehouse cleaning tenders and was a Visa vägen gala award finalist, reflecting its similar positioning in the inclusion-focused cleaning segment.

Broad incumbents

• Sodexo: Global facility management and food services incumbent with broad Swedish operations across cleaning, FM, and workplace services. Comparable in serving public-sector and large enterprise clients and competing for the same integrated service contracts as Samhall.
• Compass Group: World's largest contract foodservice and support services company with cleaning and FM offerings that overlap Samhall's service portfolio. Particularly relevant for the food-service and integrated facility service contracts Samhall holds with customers like Max Burgers.
• Atalian: Large European facility services group operating across cleaning, security, and energy management with a Nordic presence. Competes with Samhall for multinational and public-sector contracts in Sweden and across Europe.

Emerging players

• Hemfrid: Swedish home and small-business services provider offering cleaning and household services. Comparable in service-line and geographic focus but targets residential and SMB customers rather than Samhall's enterprise and public-sector core.

Others

• Humana AB: Swedish personal-services and care company with staffing and individual/family services. Adjacent to Samhall's care-related services and labor-market-inclusion mission, serving overlapping populations of persons with disabilities.
• Attendo: Major Nordic care and elderly-care provider that is both a Samhall customer (using Samhall for cleaning, laundry, and meal handling) and an adjacent operator in care-related services where their offerings intersect.

Regional players

• Samhall UK / Remploy: UK government-supported analogous organization historically providing employment for disabled people across services and manufacturing. Comparable as a state-mandated social-mission service business in a different geography.
