The group also operates Schultz GFS, Schultz TKD, Schultz EGM and the recently acquired Hausmeisterservice Wermke GmbH (40 employees, closed July 2024), and is itself a subsidiary of Finnish PHM Group since October 14, 2022.

The company serves enterprise clients across offices and administration, banking and insurance (notably Hamburger Sparkasse/Haspa under a 200-location contract won jointly with Dussmann in July 2023), retail and shopping centers, the housing industry, healthcare facilities, trade shows and large events, and industrial customers in mineral oil, automotive and aviation. Its go-to-market is direct enterprise sales supported by dedicated account managers and interdisciplinary service teams, with marketing presence through its corporate website, regional trade fair participation (GET Nord), dual study career events, a 1,000 euro employee referral program, and CSR-driven brand activities in Hamburg. Revenue is generated through multi-year managed services contracts and project-based professional services, with pricing customized per client and not publicly disclosed.

The business is led by Dieter Lenuweit (Geschäftsführer) following the founder-led transition after the PHM Group transaction; founder Axel Schultz remains an advisor to PHM Group. Schultz Gruppe employs over 1,040 people from more than 30 nationalities and operates from its headquarters in the Glockenhof building at Hamburger Straße 152 in Hamburg.
