More than 50 years of growth
and service
ServiceMaster, the parent company of
ServiceMaster Clean, has come a long way since its start as a
moth-proofing company founded in 1929 by Marion E. Wade, a
former minor league baseball player.
When it was incorporated in 1947,
ServiceMaster employed only half a dozen employees and earned a
yearly revenue of $125,000. Today, that fledgling corporation is
the leader of the service industry, employing more than 50,000
people, managing over 190,000 others, earning over $7.8 billion
annually, and licensing over 5,400 independently owned and
operated service providers.
What hasn"t changed over the years is the
company's credo. Wade had a strong personal faith and a desire
to honor God in all he did. Translating this into the
marketplace, he viewed each individual employee and customer as
being made in God's image—worthy of dignity and respect. His
successors, Ken Hansen and Ken Wessner, also shared his
viewpoint. These three leaders shaped what became our company
objectives:
Honor God in All We Do
Help People Develop
Excel with Customers
Grow Profitably
Commitment to quality
Realizing that helping every employee develop
to his or her full potential would result in a greater quality
of work, training at all levels became a cornerstone of the
ServiceMaster approach. Operating under this basic philosophy,
ServiceMaster expanded to carpet cleaning in 1952, establishing
one of America's first franchise businesses.
In 1962, the Company took its expertise to
the healthcare arena and pioneered what is now known as
outsourcing. In 1980, we began serving the education market and
expanded our work offerings to business and industry.
