The ISSA has acquired the assets of Cleaning & Maintenance Management® magazine, CMMOnline.com, CM e-News Daily, and Cleaning Management Institute® from Grand View Media Group, a wholly-owned subsidiary of EBSCO Industries, based in Birmingham, AL.
“ISSA’s decision to acquire the CMM family closely supports association goals of strengthening the global cleaning community and changing the way the world views cleaning,” said ISSA Executive Director, John Garfinkel. “A core principle at ISSA is to increase appreciation for cleaning as an investment in human health, the environment, and an improved bottom line. This acquisition serves to help us fulfill that promise.”
ISSA plans to run the four CMM programs separately from ISSA’s current products and services, and intends for them to continue to provide the same quality of news, resources, and training CMM customers have come to value. “We respect and value what Grand View Media has accomplished with these brands, and we plan to continue those high standards as well as leverage synergies that ISSA offers in the area of facility service provider support,” said John.
