Dubai: EFS Facilities Services Group, the regional FM leader with over AED 5.2 Billion in contract backlog and operations in 21 countries, acquires Guardian, a company operating for over 12 years in the UAE providing best-in-class Fire Protection Systems and Services.

This strategic move will further accelerate and broaden EFS’s capability in specialized systems and services. With the addition of Guardian into the EFS Group, EFS has expanded its technical expertise to ensure service excellence and sustainable service delivery to its clientele in the critical field of Fire Protection and safety. This will also facilitate our entry in Fire Safety in India as the country holds great potential for this business vertical”.

Sudhesh Bhaskaran, Shareholder and Managing Director of Guardian, said, “I am very pleased to state that it is a proud moment for Guardian to become part of EFS, under its highly professional and visionary leadership. By becoming a member of the EFS Group, Guardian stands to leapfrog and gain tremendously from the wealth of business practices and corporate management EFS brings on board. This indeed is a pivotal moment for the entire Guardian family members.”
