Blue Sage Capital is pleased to announce its recently completed investment in Clean Team, LLC, a provider of commercial janitorial and facilities cleaning services. The transaction represents a new strategic partnership between Blue Sage and Clean Team's Founder and CEO, Bob Armbruster, who will continue to lead the company and retain majority ownership.
"After building this business for 30 years, finding the right partner for our next chapter was not a decision I took lightly," says Armbruster. "Blue Sage stood out for their genuine respect for what we've built and their commitment to supporting our team and culture as we continue to grow. I'm excited to have a thought partner with the financial and operational resources to help us continue to scale."
Founded in 1996, Clean Team has grown into a scaled regional platform, operating 18 branches across 13 states and serving a diversified base of commercial, healthcare, industrial, and education clients. The company's existing footprint and acquisition history provide a foundation for its ongoing expansion strategy, with 13 add-on transactions already integrated. Blue Sage's recent investment provides Clean Team with growth capital and an institutional partner to support its continued organic expansion and disciplined acquisition strategy.
"Bob has built an exceptional business with an impressive track record of growth. We look forward to supporting the company's continued growth within existing markets and targeted expansion into new geographies," shares Jonathan Kaskow, Partner at Blue Sage.
