After economic downturn first signs of recovery are distinct in Spain. We think it is a good time for acquisitions of excellent companies that have survived economic downturn. Prices are appealing, as large Spanish holdings withdraw from facility management which is not their core business, stated Jonas Janukenas, General Director of AB City Service.

In recent years we invested in business management systems, which allowed us to reach good results and quite a high level in comparison with other companies of our field not only in Eastern and Central, but also in Western Europe. We feel ready for broader geographic expansion, as we see perspective both in Spain and other countries, J.Janukenas highlighted.
