Valor Services Group takes over Rentokil Specialist Hygiene and takes next step in Benelux growth

The market for specialist cleaning and air quality never stands still. Today, customers expect more than just a service: they expect security, safety and continuity. With the acquisition of Rentokil Specialist Hygiene, Valor Services Group is taking a powerful step forward to guarantee exactly that.


This takeover is not a coincidence, but a strategic choice. A choice to deepen expertise, provide even better support to customers and our position as quality reference in specialist cleaning and air quality to further strengthen.

For me personally, this step feels like a circle that is complete. My career at Rentokil formed the basis of my knowledge and passion for this profession. Today, we're bringing that experience together with the entrepreneurial strength of Valor Services Group. The result? A unique combination of international know-how and local decisiveness.

What does this mean for customers in concrete terms?

  • More expertise on the floor: experienced specialists — real Valorists® — who master the profession themselves
  • Faster and more flexible service thanks to our local presence in the Benelux
  • Broader range of services: from air quality and hygiene to industrial and technical cleaning

Or as our mission says: you focus on your core business, we take care of you hygiene, health and fire safety

What does this mean in concrete terms in the Benelux?
This is where it really becomes tangible.

Through this acquisition, Valor Services Group grows into an even stronger player with more local presence than ever before. Where we are already active today with 8 strategic locations in Belgium and the Netherlands, we strengthen this network with additional expertise, people and operational strength.

For you, this translates into:

  • Even shorter intervention times — because we're literally closer to your site
  • More capacity — peaks are effortlessly absorbed without sacrificing quality
  • Local teams with international backing — you get the best of both worlds
  • Continuity and reliability — even in complex or multi-site environments

Imagine: an urgent intervention in your production environment or healthcare institution. No waiting times, no compromises. A team that knows your sector, understands your standards and responds immediately. That is the strength of an extensive network of Valorists® in the Benelux.

SOFIED Group

Behind this growth is a strong, ambitious group. Valor Services Group is part of the French SOFIED Group, a family and independent player committed to sustainable expansion in Europe.

The numbers speak for themselves:

  • +43,000 customers
  • strong annual growth
  • clear ambition towards 2030

But what really matters is the vision behind it:
a group that invests in people, innovation and sustainability. Think of concrete actions such as CO₂ reduction, greening the fleet and partnerships around environmental projects

For customers, this means one thing:
long-term security. A partner that not only delivers today, but also continues to invest in quality tomorrow.


This takeover marks the beginning of a new chapter. One where scale and expertise come together without losing the human approach that Valor stands for.
