[edit] History
At one time its head office was in Bramhall, Stockport, Greater Manchester (originally in Cheshire).[4][5]
In January 1999 the company Amey plc submitted a £81.5 million offer to buy Servisair.[5] In early 1999 Penauille Polyservices SA acquired Servisair.[6] Penauille had its head office in Boissy St Léger.[7]
In 2001 Lufthansa sold 51% of its ground handling subsidiary, GlobeGround, to Penauille Polyservices. The remaining Lufthansa shares in GlobeGround went to Penauille on 30 June 2002.[8]
As Servisair/GlobeGround (GlobeGround GmbH) its head office was in Raunheim, Germany.[9]
On 19 January 2006 Servisair/GlobeGround became Penauille Servisair.[10]
At a later point, as Penauille Servisair, the company had its head office in Atlantic House, Atlas Business Park, Manchester.[11]
In July 2007 Penauille Polyservices and CFF Recycling merged to form the Derichebourg Group.[citation needed]
