Newpoint Acquires Globe Window Cleaning, Inc
NEWPOINT SERVICES EXPANDING INTO COLUMBUS, OHIO COMMERCIAL CLEANING MARKET WITH ACQUISITION OF GLOBE WINDOW CLEANING
Columbus Operations to Double in Size with Addition of New Capabilities to Help Ohio Clients Trim Maintenance and Cleaning Costs
INDIANAPOLIS, IN – January 21, 2022 – Newpoint Services, a leading Indianapolis-based building services contractor today announced that it has closed on an acquisition of Ohio’s Globe Window Cleaning, with an aggressive expansion plan that will retain existing employees and seek to double operations in the Ohio capital.
“We are very excited to close today on the acquisition of Globe Window Cleaning, Inc., one of the Ohio’s premiere service providers to commercial, university, and governmental clients. Newpoint plans to build on the solid foundation built by Globe and double the operational staff in Columbus, adding new services and capabilities to help our new Ohio clients. Our aim is to provide a true one-stop shop for commercial building services – expanding beyond windows to include large scale floor care, pressure washing, street sweeping, porter services and other services that help to reduce replacement costs and keep ongoing maintenance expenses in check,” said John Sutton, the Indianapolis-based Chief Executive Officer of Newpoint Services.
“The addition of Globe’s business to Newpoint Services is an ideal marriage of two companies who are both squarely focused on helping our clients look their best. Much like Globe’s superb reputation in Ohio, Newpoint is relied upon by leading commercial developers, hoteliers, and universities in Indiana and Texas to provide commercial cleaning services,” said Brian George, the Indianapolis-based President and COO of Newpoint. “Globe already has an excellent reputation in the city and an impressive client list. Their longstanding history of being the leading contractor in the market is what really got our attention, as we seek to expand not only their current operations but add in all of our other services to help clients in Columbus.”
For more than 50 years, Globe has helped their Columbus-area clients with exterior cleaning and maintenance. Already one of Ohio’s leading window cleaning contractors, Globe crews can be spotted across the Columbus skyline. Globe cleans windows at several universities including The Ohio State University, Denison, and Kenyon, as well as for American Electric Power, for governmental clients such as the Ohio Department of Public Safety, the Ohio Supreme Court, and the City of Dublin. Newpoint will now serve many Ohio commercial real estate developers and companies who want to keep their properties shiny and clean.
The Ohio expansion for Newpoint Services will fuel new jobs, too, with plans to hire at least a dozen people to expand Globe’s activities yet this year.
“Globe is a recognized leader in exterior building cleaning, and I’m excited to be able to tap into their knowledge of medium- and high-rise building cleaning as that will help us expand in both Indianapolis and in Austin. Personally, I’m excited to enter the Columbus market with Newpoint because we have family in the area and because the state capitals of Ohio and Indiana are so similar. We already have some Indianapolis clients who have properties in Columbus, so I am confident that this expansion will be a great fit for our team,” Sutton said.
Globe Vice President Gary Griffith is retiring, and all Globe employees will retain their current roles in the Newpoint family with about 15 new positions planned to be added in 2022.
“We hope to learn about how Globe has kept Columbus looking good and expand our service offering in Indianapolis, too. As an example, currently all of our Indiana window cleaning is done from ground or aerial lifts. Newpoint will begin offering medium- and high-rise window cleaning with the traditional rappelling methods used by Globe experts,” Sutton explained.
“We’re very much a behind-the-scenes player, always doing our best to help our clients look their best. We have an exceptional customer base that includes everything from local universities, to property managers, professional sports teams, and noteworthy hotels. We’re the people who do everything from pressure washing and power sweeping, to window washing, carpet cleaning, floor restoration, and glass cleaning. We can even do water extraction, advanced dehumidification, and mold and mildew remediation,” Sutton said.
Newpoint serves clients in central Indiana and in metropolitan Austin, Texas. Today’s expansion will bring Newpoint’s reliable services to Columbus, Ohio customers.
