While the experts at the German Aerospace Center (DLR) research and develop the key technologies of tomorrow, the Piepenbrock Group ensures a clean working environment. Since January 2024, the building service provider from Osnabrück has been responsible for maintenance cleaning at the DLR site in Ulm.

Anyone working with quantum, artificial intelligence, and state-of-the-art supercomputers must be able to rely on a clean working environment. The DLR in Ulm, Baden-Württemberg, trusts in the services provided by Piepenbrock. The family-owned company won the contract and has since been taking care of the maintenance cleaning in the offices, laboratories, meeting rooms, on traffic and utility areas, as well as in the canteen of the research facility. "We want to ensure that the DLR can fully concentrate on its core business," explains Norbert Erdhofer, Branch Manager at Piepenbrock in Neu-Ulm. He and his team aim to relieve their clients as much as possible.

Friendly and Solution-Oriented Cooperation

Cleanliness, order, and adherence to strict hygiene regulations are particularly important to the DLR. Piepenbrock naturally accommodates individual requirements when executing the contract. The responsible persons at the DLR in Ulm appreciate the good cooperation with Piepenbrock, which is always friendly and solution-oriented. Regular and close communication among all parties helps to quickly resolve any challenges and carry out cleaning work on-site efficiently and reliably.
