Piepenbrock again among the top ten of the Lünendonk® list

Piepenbrock secures 9th place once again on the Lünendonk® list, the comparison of leading facility service companies in Germany.

In the current Lünendonk® list "Leading Facility Service Companies in Germany," Piepenbrock again ranks ninth. This marks the third consecutive time the family-owned company has been among the top ten of the largest facility service providers in Germany. A total of 66 companies were analyzed in the Lünendonk® 2020 study.

With a turnover of around 618 million euros in 2019 and a growth of nearly five percent compared to the previous year, Piepenbrock secured the ninth place on the renowned list once again. According to the Lünendonk® study, key factors for the company's success are particularly good concepts for recruiting and retaining personnel. With its extensive service portfolio, Piepenbrock offers attractive jobs in various fields of deployment – both in administrative and technical and craft areas. An important success factor for recruiting employees is the company's newly launched and web-optimized job portal with a digital applicant platform, introduced in 2019. For individual career and development opportunities, the in-house academy with an affiliated technology and cleanroom training center ensures growth. The high employee satisfaction is demonstrated by the video campaign "We are Piepenbrocker!" and the award "Focus Top National Employer," which the company has received six times in a row. The company continually increases its attractiveness with various benefits. This year, among other things, a language learning app and nationwide bicycle leasing were added to the offerings. "In a personnel-intensive industry like facility management, our employees are and will remain the heart of our company. Our success is largely based on them," emphasizes Arnulf Piepenbrock, Managing Partner of the company group of the same name, highlighting the importance of his "Piepenbrocker" team. "Therefore, an attractive working environment and employee satisfaction are very important to us."

Success through Digitalization and Sustainability

Additionally, the Lünendonk® study showed that digitized and environmentally friendly facility services are gaining increasing importance. The digital solutions are used by the company both for internal purposes and for process optimization at the client’s site. A current example is the "Piepenbrock Virus Guard," a system for sensor-based control of visitor flows in retail. In addition to digital solutions, more and more clients expect the contracted facility services to have a positive impact on their own environmental balance. Piepenbrock takes a pioneering role in the industry here. "Sustainable thinking and acting have been firmly anchored in our corporate culture since 1990 – back then, our first environmental report was published," explains Arnulf Piepenbrock. "Since then, we have implemented numerous social and ecological projects, and for years we have successfully applied ecological building cleaning for our customers, thereby jointly protecting our environment. The repeated placement in the top ten of the Lünendonk® study shows us once again that we are on the right track and well positioned as a company. We are confident that we can continue the growth trend of recent years," concludes the managing partner.
