Piepenbrock Unternehmensgruppe

Piepenbrock Unternehmensgruppe is a German industrial and services group headquartered in Osnabrück and operating as a family-owned business in its fourth generation. Its roots go back to 1913, when the company began as a window-cleaning institute. Over more than a century it has grown into one of Germany's leading multi-service building services providers, combining facility management, building cleaning, maintenance and security services under one roof. The group's service portfolio covers technical, infrastructural and commercial facility management. This includes building cleaning across the full range — from routine maintenance cleaning to glass and façade cleaning and specialist services such as cleanroom cleaning — as well as maintenance, inspection, repair and modernization of technical installations, operational equipment testing (DGUV V3), energy management, FM consulting, technical building management, green area maintenance and winter services. Piepenbrock positions itself as a market leader in building cleaning in Germany. According to the company, it employs around 27,600 people from more than 120 nations, operates 70 branches and around 800 locations, and serves more than 13,300 customers nationwide. The group reported revenue of EUR 707 million in 2021. Its managing partners are Arnulf Piepenbrock, responsible for facility management and building cleaning, and Olaf Piepenbrock, responsible for the industrial division as well as maintenance and security. In 2009, Hartwig Piepenbrock — represented by his wife Maria-Theresia — held 51 percent of the group's shares, with the children holding 49 percent. Beyond the building services business, the group includes subsidiaries such as Piepenbrock Dienstleistungen, Loesch Verpackungstechnik, Hastamat and Planol. Piepenbrock Pyrotechnik (Hans Hamberger AG) was sold. The company emphasizes sustainability as a family business, framing responsibility across generations and combining ecological, social and economic themes. Since 2010 it has planted trees together with customers in its corporate forest, and it supports projects for children and families with Plan International Deutschland e.V.
