UPDATE 1-ThyssenKrupp sells Industrieservice unit to Wisag
* Wisag gets Industrieservice GmbH as expected
* ThyssenKrupp shares up 0.4 pct
DUESSELDORF, Germany, Oct 5 (Reuters) - German industrial group ThyssenKrupp (TKAG.DE) has sold its ThyssenKrupp Industrieservice GmbH unit to facility management company Wisag, the companies said on Monday, giving no financial terms.
The accord is retroactive to Oct. 1.
The unit changing hands employs more than 12,500 full- and part-time staff and generates more than 300 million euros ($436.1 million) in sales.
A company source had told Reuters last month that Wisag would pay more than 100 million euros for the business, which provides logistics, maintenance and production support for automotive, metal producing and engineering companies.
ThyssenKrupp is selling parts of its Industrial Services division. Two more businesses -- Safway and Xervon -- are in the process of being divested. (Reporting by Tom Kaeckenhoff; Writing by Michael Shields)
