Strategic Partnership

The Most Owner-Operator Aligned Acquiror in the Industry

One of the fundamental principles of GDI is creating and promoting a safe and healthy work environment for all our employees and clients.

Grow With Us Through Strategic Partnership

GDI Ainsworth has completed 53 acquisitions since 2008 and operates a successful, profitable and financially healthy business. We are a public company with our shares traded on the Toronto Stock Exchange. Our entrepreneurial spirit and corporate culture, rooted in strong values such as honesty, integrity, respect and customer commitment, define who we are.

At GDI Ainsworth, we don’t call them acquisitions; we view them as partnerships.

We treat people with fairness and integrity at all times, which is a key to our success. We are actively seeking out partnerships with facility services companies that share our values.

With over 30,000 employees across North America and decades of experience in commercial cleaning, multi-trade technical services and integrated facility solutions, GDI Ainsworth is well-positioned to support your company’s next phase of growth.

Whether you are seeking a succession solution, looking to expand your capabilities,
or aiming to align with a larger organization to better serve your customers, we are
open to conversations with companies of all sizes.
