About
In an industry of apples, we’re the orange.
Our Vision:
To be the most respected facilities services company in the world. We don’t want to do facilities services better, we want to change the paradigm to create a brand new industry based on people and relationships.
Frank Argenbright
Executive Chairman & Founder
On a mission to care for our clients in every way possible.
At Velociti, we do more than facilities services. We deliver peace of mind, knowing your building will be ready when you arrive. The assurance that when you need us, we’ll be there to handle it quickly and handle it right. The promise that we’ll have the best people, with the best training, expertise and technology to make sure your facilities stay in peak condition. While other companies focus on their capabilities and services, Velociti chooses to focus on our people and relationships.
The Argenbright Legacy
A History of Legendary Service
At Velociti, we build on the foundation of legendary service to our clients that Argenbright companies have been known for since 1977. We bring that same energy to facilities services, redefining the industry by delivering the personal attention expected of a local service provider alongside the strong processes and national reach of a global organization.
Team-Centered Culture
Built on Relationships
We recognize, reward, and respect our frontline workers, empowering them to make the best decisions in the field. We hire the best people, provide them with the best training, and equip them with the best technology to make sure your facilities stay in peak condition. Because our success is measured by our people, and our people are measured by you.
Advanced Accountability
People Led, Technology Enhanced
Our expert-trained staff serves as an extension of your own team, invested in your success. We use data-driven insights to allocate staffing, making sure we’re there when you need us. By incorporating the latest technology and automation, Velociti enables our clients to request service, get updates on progress, and verify completion.

Karan Ishwar
CEO
Argenbright Group
It takes a certain type of risk-taker to leave a safe, secure position and gamble on a new job in a new industry… on the other side of the world. But it’s that willingness to take risks that brought Karan to Argenbright Group. He joined Argenbright at 27, overseeing mergers and acquisitions. Today he’s the CEO, heading up all of the businesses in the Argenbright portfolio. He has a strong professional track record in Corporate Development, Investment Banking, and Cross-Border M&A Advisory. Karan is always looking to innovate, searching for creative solutions to improve and enhance the lives of hourly wage employees.
Frank A. Argenbright Jr.
Executive Chairman & Founder
Argenbright Group
From failing high school history (his mom was the teacher) to The Atlanta Business Chronicle’s Lifetime Achievement Award, Frank Argenbright is the rare true story of a self-made man. Frank started his first company in 1977 with $500 in startup capital and has been a serial entrepreneur ever since, acquiring over seventy companies and growing Argenbright Holdings to more than $1.5 B in revenue. Frank is an expert in service-based industries with a keen eye for talent, able to look past resumes and pedigrees for folks who are quicker, faster, smarter and hungrier. This eye for talent has established the reputation of legendary service for which Frank’s companies are known worldwide.
Frank’s commitment to his employees, however, is just as legendary. From tangible incentives like cash and cars to intangible ones like titles and hand-signed Christmas cards, Frank makes sure that every Argenbright employee is recognized and rewarded for their hard work. He understands that his employees are a reflection of Argenbright companies: “We value our team members and treat them with the respect they deserve. These are the people that we are placing in customers’ facilities and our reputation is based on them.”
