Pedigree
Omni has a long established pedigree in the Facility Services market. Beginning as Modern Building Cleaning in the 1950’s, the company grew organically and through acquisitions to become the largest and only janitorial services provider in Canada with a truly national capability and presence, furthermore the company developed a reputation as the benchmark in the industry.
