What B&H does

B&H Gebäude-Service GmbH is a traditional German building cleaning and facility management company headquartered in Mülheim-Kärlich near Koblenz. Founded over 100 years ago originally in textile care, the company has evolved into a building cleaning specialist with more than 290 employees, of whom over 260 work in cleaning operations. The company operates as a private GmbH under a multi-director management team (Thomas Burchard-MBA, Larry Leichsenring, Sven Eggerstedt) with no identified external investors or parent company.

The company delivers a comprehensive service portfolio across two distinct geographic footprints. Within an approximately 200 km radius of Koblenz, it provides direct building cleaning (Unterhaltsreinigung, Glasreinigung, Grundreinigung, Industriereinigung, Bauschlussreinigung, Reinraum Reinigung) and supplementary facility management modules (Hausmeister, Pförtner, Konferenz-Service, green area maintenance, inhouse logistics). For washroom hygiene products and mat services, the company operates nationwide in Germany, including through the dedicated subsidiary B&H Hygiene (bh-hygiene.de). Customers include insurance firms (Debeka), banks (Sparkasse Koblenz), public authorities (IHK Koblenz, Polizeipräsidium Koblenz, Landesamt für Steuern, Stadt Frankfurt, Verbandsgemeinde Mülheim-Kärlich), industrial operators (Scania, Rhenus, Balcke-Dürr), and corporate clients across multiple states.

The business model is built on long-term recurring service contracts with enterprise and government clients, supplemented by consumption-based billing for washroom hygiene consumables. Go-to-market is direct B2B field sales driven by reputation, customer references, and relationship-based account management. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is quote-based per scope. There is no proprietary technology platform, no app, and no digital marketing presence; service delivery relies on standard cleaning equipment and a 290+ person workforce. The company holds no patents or certifications beyond standard compliance, and operates with no identified external funding or venture capital involvement.
