History

At one time its head office was in Bramhall, Stockport, Greater Manchester (originally in Cheshire).

In January 1999 the company Amey plc submitted a £81.5 million offer to buy Servisair. In early 1999 Penauille Polyservices SA acquired Servisair. Penauille had its head office in Boissy St Léger.

In 2001 Lufthansa sold 51% of its ground handling subsidiary, GlobeGround, to Penauille Polyservices. The remaining Lufthansa shares in GlobeGround went to Penauille on 30 June 2002.

As Servisair/GlobeGround (GlobeGround GmbH) its head office was in Raunheim, Germany.

On 19 January 2006 Servisair/GlobeGround became Penauille Servisair.

At a later point, as Penauille Servisair, the company had its head office in Atlantic House, Atlas Business Park, Manchester.

In July 2007 Penauille Polyservices and CFF Recycling merged to form Derichebourg.

In May 2012 Transat sold Handlex, its handling brand to Servisair.

In July 2013 it was announced that the Derichebourg has reached an agreement to sell Servisair to Swissport. Servisair's operations were merged into Swissport by December 2013. As a result, Swissport became the largest ground handler in the world with almost 300 locations around the globe.
