ABM, a leading provider of facility solutions, has announced a multi‑year partnership with the Atlanta Braves to deliver janitorial services at Truist Park. The contract represents the company's tenth collaboration with a Major League Baseball franchise and its inaugural agreement in Atlanta, underscoring a strategic push into sports and entertainment venues nationwide.
A Broad‑Scope Venue Partnership
Truist Park, a 1.1‑million‑square‑foot campus that hosts 150 to 200 events each year and draws approximately three million fans annually, will see ABM's expertise applied to maintain the cleanliness and operational excellence of its concourses, restrooms, and premium spaces during Braves home games, concerts, and other high‑profile events.
Valerie Burd, President of Business & Industry at ABM, emphasized the critical need for highly coordinated operations within sports and entertainment venues. "Our technology‑enabled communication tools, including live translation and real‑time location functionality, will help us meet the rigorous standards that fans expect," she said.
Jim Allen, Senior Vice President of Corporate & Premium Partnerships for the Atlanta Braves, highlighted ABM's proven track record with Major League Baseball venues. "ABM's expertise in supporting premier stadiums aligns perfectly with our commitment to delivering a world‑class fan experience," Allen noted.
Behind the Scenes, Fans Stay Focused on the Game
Brian Grant, Vice President of Sports & Entertainment at ABM, discussed the often‑invisible work that underpins a seamless event. "The behind‑the‑scenes efforts we provide are essential to creating an environment where fans can focus on the action rather than the surroundings," he explained.
The partnership also introduces a suite of digital tools designed to streamline communication between ABM's staff and venue managers. Live translation capabilities and real‑time location tracking aim to improve response times and operational visibility across the bustling campus.
ABM's portfolio already serves many of the nation's leading stadiums, arenas, and entertainment complexes. This new agreement not only reinforces its position as a premier facility services provider but also expands its footprint within the dynamic world of professional sports.
