“While strategic M&A has been an important contributor to our overall growth over the years, we continue to be selective in our assessment of potential deals given the high interest rate environment,” said Steve Jones, global chairman and CEO of Allied Universal. “In 2024, we acquired six companies that continue our domestic and international expansion and provide additional opportunities in Asia Pacific, Caribbean, Europe, as well as the U.S."
