Lexmark selects CB Richard Ellis as EMEA facilities management property advisor

CB Richard Ellis Group, Inc. today announced that it has been selected by Lexmark International Inc., a global developer, manufacturer and supplier of printing and imaging solutions, to provide facilities management services across their 500,000 sq ft EMEA sales and marketing office portfolio.

This latest appointment reflects the ongoing success of CBRE’s partnership with Lexmark which commenced in 2005 with a three-year contract to provide strategic portfolio and transaction management services across the EMEA region. In 2006 CBRE was further appointed to provide facilities management services for Lexmark’s corporate headquarters in Lexington, Kentucky. And 2008 saw the reappointment of the transaction management services contract in EMEA, which was also notably extended to include the US and Asia.

Simon Ford, Director, Global Corporate Services, CBRE said: “This appointment demonstrates the strength of CBRE’s network and our ability to continue to deliver consistently to clients in a particularly competitive market. Our global reach has allowed us to align with Lexmark’s corporate strategy, providing them with a relevant skill set to produce the right results.
