New Addition to the Supply -Chain Organization Expands Global Footprint and Increases Purchasing Power
Avendra International announced today that it has acquired the Quantum Cost Consultancy Group. The acquisition further enhances the company’s position as a leading global professional procurement and supply chain services provider, to a wide range of clients including hotels, hospitality and leisure resorts, healthcare, and educational institutions worldwide.
Quantum has customer spend of nearly half a billion dollars (converted to US currency) and has operations in Spain, Portugal, Germany, the Netherlands, Zanzibar, Mexico, the Dominican Republic, and Jamaica.
“We are very pleased to bring Quantum into our portfolio,” said Autumn Bayles, Aramark’s Senior Vice President of Global Supply Chain and Group Purchasing Organizations. “Both companies share a similar vison and culture and adding Quantum positions us to better globally serve not only the hotel category, but several other hospitality markets in the Quantum geographies.”
Quantum’s associates and clients can expect a seamless transition to Avendra International over the coming weeks. Their CEO will continue to lead the Quantum business and operations will remain unchanged.
“We are excited to begin our next chapter as part of Avendra International,” said Alex Casajuana, Chief Executive Officer of Quantum. “Our associates, clients and suppliers will not see any changes in how the company operates and we are now better positioned to provide stronger outcomes for our clients and suppliers.”
Quantum manages, to varying degrees, the expense categories that a hotel establishment might incur, including food and beverage, housekeeping and non-consumable products, services, energy and telecommunications, maintenance expenditures, small equipment, and insurances.
“Our purchase of Quantum is part of our strategy to expand the footprint of Avendra International and strengthen our purchasing capacity in hospitality related products, services and engineering solutions in particular,” said Ian Murphy, Aramark’s European Senior Vice President of Supply Chain and Group Purchasing Organizations.
In addition to hotels, Quantum also serves restaurants, gaming establishments, and senior and youth residencies.
This purchase represents part of Aramark’s “tuck in” acquisition strategy to position the company for continued profitable growth.
