Defender Services, Inc. has been a leader in providing diverse workforce solutions since its inception in 1958. Initially established as Defender Industries, the company began by supplying cleaning chemicals to local industries but quickly recognized a broader need for workforce support. By the 1960s, Defender evolved into a key provider of janitorial and housekeeping services, developing efficient labor models to optimize cleaning operations. This strategic pivot laid the groundwork for further expansion.
In the 1980s, the company shifted its focus entirely away from chemical production, rebranding as Defender Services and broadening its service offerings to include staffing, security, landscaping, and other essential services tailored to various sectors such as manufacturing, healthcare, and education. Today, Defender Services employs over 3,000 associates across 11 states, making it a considerable player in the workforce solutions industry.
Central to Defender Services' philosophy is the commitment to safety and the well-being of its workforce. This principle guides all decision-making processes, reflecting the company’s dedication to creating a secure working environment for its employees.
The company understands the evolving needs of the workforce demands, especially in response to challenges such as the COVID-19 pandemic, where they have enhanced their janitorial services to comply with health guidelines. Defender Services takes pride in its efficient and trusted cleaning protocols, addressing the demands of clients from small offices to expansive manufacturing facilities.
With a strong emphasis on quality and customer satisfaction, Defender Services has established a solid reputation, fueled by recommendations from a loyal client base. They offer a simplified service model that encompasses everything from janitorial care to staffing, encapsulated in their mantra of “One Contact, One Contract, One Invoice,” which provides ease and clarity for clients. As they continue to evolve, Defender Services remains committed to developing innovative workforce solutions that cater to the diverse needs of businesses across the United States.
