Its senior officials said the scope of work included a large number of overall facilities management contracts as well as specialized hard and soft services such as M&E, cleaning, maintenance, security and housekeeping.

“Farnek has always focused on innovative, technology-driven and sustainable FM solutions. This strategy has supported the growth of our business and maintained our competitive advantage in the market, culminating in these major contracts,” said its CEO, Markus Oberlin said.
