ABM has acquired Wgnstar, a global provider of managed workforce solutions and equipment support services for the semiconductor industry.

The deal is valued at approximately $275 million and will allow ABM to expand its presence within the semiconductor sector.

Following the acquisition, ABM’s semiconductor solutions portfolio will be among the largest in North America, valued at approximately $325 million in revenue on an annualised basis.

Wgnstar has over 1,300 employees and generates more than half of its revenue by delivering integrated workforce programmes to improve efficiency in chip fabrication facilities. It also provides maintenance services within Original Equipment Manufacturer facilities.

Scott Salmirs, President & Chief Executive Officer of ABM, commented, “Wgnstar’s expertise in semiconductor operations and equipment services will align seamlessly with ABM’s strengths in engineering, energy resiliency, and mission-critical solutions. As demand escalates for domestic semiconductor production, we anticipate this transaction will uniquely position ABM to meet our clients’ evolving needs, from cleanroom and critical facility management to specialised technical services supporting chip fabrication and equipment operations. We’re excited to welcome the talented Wgnstar team to ABM and, together, provide integrated solutions in a dynamic and rapidly growing market.”

Nigel Wenden, CEO of Wgnstar, said, “I am incredibly proud of the business our team has built over the past 22 years since its founding in Ireland. Joining forces with ABM will enable us to better serve our clients in this exciting technology market with integrated and innovative solutions. Both companies share a commitment to innovation, excellence, and partnership, positioning us to meet the needs of our customers as the semiconductor industry continues to expand.”
