Symbiot expands parking lot maintenance network
Following a successful showing at National Pavement Expo in Charlotte, Symbiot Business Group, Salt Lake City, recently expanded its sweeping network to include all parking lot maintenance.
The national service provider, which services more than 7,000 locations across the United States, has created its Parking Lot Maintenance Network to offer striping, sealcoating, and asphalt maintenance in addition to sweeping.
Allen Quille, director of the parking lot maintenance network, says that by offering more services Symbiot encourages existing "sweeping partners" to participate in all of the benefits associated with the new Parking Lot Maintenance Network.
