ISS-International Service System A/S
 PROFILE
ISS-International Service System may be one of the world's largest cleaning services companies, but it probably would bristle at comparisons to a big broom. The company, which operates through scores of subsidiaries in 38 countries across Europe, Asia, and Latin America, has concentrated on transforming itself from a cleaning giant into a focused services conglomerate. In addition to general cleaning, other operating units provide higher-margin, specialized services for automotive workshops, food-processing plants, hospitals, and public transportation facilities. Fast-growing ISS acquired 53 companies in 22 countries in 2000.
