We are thrilled to share some exciting news! Avendra International has acquired Quantum, a Spanish-based Group Purchasing Organization.
With $500 million in procurement spend and a team of 90 employees, the company is a leading procurement specialist for the hotel and hospitality industry, with 27 years of expertise and operations spanning Spain, Portugal, Germany, the Netherlands, Zanzibar, Mexico, the Dominican Republic, and Jamaica.
“We are very pleased to bring Quantum into our portfolio,” said Autumn Bayles, Aramark’s Senior Vice President of Global Supply Chain and Group Purchasing Organizations. “Both companies share a similar vison and culture and adding Quantum positions us to better globally serve not only the hotel category, but several other industries in the Quantum geographies.”
While primarily serving the hotel industry, Quantum also extends its expertise to the restaurant, leisure, and healthcare sectors.
Quantum manages a wide range of expense categories, including food and beverage, housekeeping and non-consumable products, services, energy and telecommunications, maintenance expenditures, small equipment, and insurances.
This strategic move marks a significant milestone in our journey, enabling us to enter new markets, expand our geographic presence, and strengthen our capabilities whilst also enhancing our global purchasing power to over $20.5 billion.
“Our purchase of Quantum is part of our strategy to expand the footprint of Avendra International and strengthen our purchasing capacity in hotel rooms, engineering products and services in particular,” said Ian Murphy, Aramark’s European Senior Vice President of Supply Chain and Group Purchasing Organizations.
We look forward to enhancing our partnerships with clients, suppliers, and key stakeholders, achieving greater efficiency and excellence together as we embark on this exciting new chapter.
“We are excited to begin our next chapter as part of Avendra International,” said Alejandro Casajuana, Chief Executive Officer of Quantum. “Our employees, clients and suppliers will not see any changes in how the company operates and we are now better positioned to provide stronger outcomes for all interests.
