Today, ABM (NYSE:ABM), a leading provider of facility solutions, announced an anticipated agreement to become the exclusive cleaning services provider for Sleep Train Arena, home of the National Basketball Association's (NBA) Sacramento Kings.

Under the anticipated multi-year agreement between ABM and the Kings, which is expected to commence April 2, ABM will be responsible for providing day-to-day pre-event, event and post-event janitorial services.

"We strive every day to provide a safe, clean and friendly environment for Sacramento Kings fans and Sleep Train Arena guests," said Kings President Chris Granger. "ABM's competency in delivering top-shelf service and environmentally-friendly practices and products made them a natural fit to help us deliver the best fan experience the NBA has to offer. Further, ABM's strong history in the sports and entertainment market gives us great comfort that our outstanding staff will undergo a smooth transition in the coming weeks."

ABM services over $100 million worth of first class venues from Los Angeles to London and Hamburg to Houston, covering National Football League (NFL), Major League Baseball (MLB) and Major League Soccer (MLS) stadiums as well as NBA and National Hockey League (NHL) arenas. ABM also services various other large convention centers and concert venues across the globe.

"We are thrilled to undertake this partnership alongside the Kings," said Charlotte Jensen-Murphy, ABM Senior Vice President, Sports & Entertainment.
