Speech: National Maintenance Training and Security Company Limited – Launch of the “Special Elite Security Service” by the National Maintenance Training and Security Company Limited presented by the Honourable Colm Imbert, MP, Minister of Finance on Wednesday 20th November, 2024 at the MTS Headquarters, Aranguez.

It is my distinct pleasure to join you in celebrating the 45th anniversary of the National Maintenance Training and Security Company and the introduction of its new Special Elite Security Service. This event marks another significant milestone in the organization’s history, highlighting its growth, agility, and strategic response to the evolving needs of its clients.

Historical Context and Evolution
To understand today’s significance, we should consider the journey of this institution from its early days as a subsidiary of the American company EduSystems to becoming a fully government-owned entity in 1972. Initially focused on school construction and engineering, the organization expanded over the years to include a wide array of services such as security, facility maintenance, agribusiness, and construction management. This diversification has enabled it to serve both public and private clients, establishing itself as a provider of professional, responsive, and high-quality services that reflect its commitment to self-sufficiency and national development.
