Acquisition to benefit EFS in extending Integrated Facilities Management Services in India to its Global clients
UAE-based integrated facilities management service provider, EFS Facilities Services announced its completion of the acquisition of Dalkia India Pvt. Ltd. Dalkia India will be added to the EFS Group of companies, expanding the company's regional operational capabilities and strengthening its foothold in the MENASA region.
Headquartered in New Delhi, Dalkia India manages more than 70 projects across 15 cities with a 2,500 strong workforce, providing MEP services to banks, hospitals, malls and multinationals companies. Besides building on core FM services, the EFS management plans to expand its operations and maintenance capabilities into the industrial sector by offering specialized integrated FM services.
EFS India also plans to extend integrated facilities management services to their existing global clients looking for Indian FM service providers. This acquisition not only gives EFS a significant competitive edge, but also builds the company's capability as a leading integrated facilities management regional service provider.
Along with other initiatives, the Indian business strategy includes building a strong technical work force that will not only support local business but will help sustain EFS's growing international business. Development of technical excellence and building FM intellectual capital amongst its Indian workforce will be two of the key drivers of the Indian strategy. EFS has the vision to build a state-of-the-art FM training and development facility in the country. The trained employees will be inducted in its Indian projects as well as its international projects across the MENASA region.
The EFS management has instilled strong faith in the existing management of Dalkia India and is empowering them to lead the company in line with the vision outlined above. The EFS India Board is very optimistic about this strategic acquisition.
"This landmark acquisition strengthens our position as one of the leaders in the MENASA region in the FM market, and will enable us to take advantage of the fast growing FM industry," said Tariq Chauhan, Group Managing Director, EFS Facilities Services.
"It significantly expands the scale and scope of EFS's existing FM operations and EFS will now be able to provide competitive FM services across a large part of the MENASA region," said Tariq.
