History

A History of
Expertise & Reliability

American Services, Inc. has grown from an entrepreneurial start-up in 1975 to become one of the largest Southeastern-based multi-faceted service firms with over 5,000 personnel in security, staffing and janitorial. The company currently provides security, staffing and janitorial services for manufacturing, headquarters, healthcare, and commercial clients in South Carolina, North Carolina, Georgia, and Virginia. Much of this growth has come at the request of existing clients to serve as a regional contractor. Many of these clients operate in environments where industry-specific certifications and/or federal and state agency regulations are a critical element of daily operations. These clients include healthcare, aerospace, food processing, banking, and commercial.

Originally known for comprehensive security services, American Security of Greenville, LLC merged with its sister organizations ACI Janitorial, LLC, and Action Staffing Services, LLC to form a full service organization known as American Services, Inc. in 1997. This incorporation of companies has enabled American Services to fulfill a variety of clients' outsourcing needs.

In 2012, the separate LLCs were formed under the corporate umbrella and each LLC operates independently with its separate management structure. With the changes and growth that have taken place over the years, American Services, Inc. remains a tightly held private company with its founder, Henry Harrison, serving as chairman. This ownership structure is expected to continue well into the future, enabling American Services, Inc. to make decisions as it always has: earning business that it can maintain over the long term.
