Intro

In this Company episode of The Synopsis we talk about APi Global, a high quality B2B service provider that specializes in fire safety and other important business service verticals. The company has been undergoing a transition by eschewing one-off construction projects and moving to more recurring and higher margin service revenue.

In this episode we draw from our 61-page research report on APi Global to cover everything from their involvement with legendary investor Martin Franklin and the business transformation to the many types of services they offer and the large competition set they face. We hope you enjoy!
