What Gleichfeld Gebäudereinigung & -service does

Gleichfeld Gebäudereinigung & -service GmbH is a family-owned building cleaning and facility services company headquartered in Berlin at Hubertusallee 26, founded in 1949 by Rudi Gleichfeld and currently led by Gregor Gleichfeld as Managing Director. The company delivers eight core service lines: Aufgangsreinigung (entrance, stairwell, and property maintenance), Baureinigung (construction and special cleaning), Büroreinigung (office and maintenance cleaning), Fassadenreinigung (facade cleaning and preservation), Flugzeugreinigung (aircraft cleaning, explicitly not certified), Glas- und Fensterreinigung (glass and window cleaning up to 100m height via truck-mounted platforms and rope access), Parkettreinigung (parquet and specialty floor cleaning), and Winterdienst (24-hour snow and ice removal). Its technical differentiator is height-cleaning equipment: lift-anhänger platforms up to 45m and truck-mounted platforms reaching 100m, supported by rope access techniques.

Gleichfeld serves approximately 1,200 commercial customers in Berlin and Brandenburg within a ~20km service radius around Berlin, including major universities (Humboldt-Universität, Freie Universität Berlin, Technische Universität Berlin, Universität Potsdam), Berlin district administrations (Bezirksämter), the State of Berlin's property vehicle (Sondervermögen Immobilien des Landes Berlin), WISTA.Service GmbH (Berlin's technology park operator), Siemens TS, Fritz-Haber-Institut, Landesarchiv Berlin, and Stiftung Haus der Geschichte der BRD. Customer segments are horizontally distributed across commercial/institutional buildings, public sector, glass and facade specialty work, and construction/special projects. The company operates under certified quality and environmental management systems, uses environmentally friendly cleaning products, and trains specialists with certifications from important drinking water associations.

The business model is professional services revenue, delivered via direct in-house employees rather than subcontractors, with quote-based pricing and multi-year contracts. Go-to-market is sales-led: customers reach Gleichfeld via phone (030-3277800), website contact forms, and referrals, and the company offers free, non-binding quotes. Marketing channels are primarily traditional: website, phone, email, and word-of-mouth, with no app presence and no public social media footprint. Equipment supply partnerships with Kärcher, Unger Global, IPC Worldwide, and Kiehl Group underpin operational capability, while a partnership with Interhomes provides property management channel access. The company has not raised external funding and has no subsidiaries, M&A activity, or public-market presence.
