What Vebego does

Vebego AG is a Swiss facility management provider headquartered in Zürich, delivering cleaning, building maintenance, gardening and landscaping, and property care services to commercial, healthcare, and aviation clients. The company operates specialized sub-brands Vebego Santé (healthcare facility services, claimed Swiss market leader) and Vebego Airport (on-site airport services, including at Zürich Airport), serving named reference customers such as UKBB (Universitäts-Kinderspital beider Basel), Reusspark, and large-scale urban developments like the iCITY project with Herzog & de Meuron. The business model is B2B, recurring, and contract-based, with services delivered directly via on-site teams under multi-year facility management engagements; pricing is quote-based and undisclosed.

Vebego's service offering is increasingly layered with proprietary technology. It acquired and retains Soobr, an AI-driven smart cleaning platform that uses self-learning algorithms on occupancy, historical, and staff feedback data to generate dynamic cleaning plans and route optimization rendered on staff tablets. Vebego is also testing and preparing to deploy cleaning robotics (autonomous units with self-emptying, cleaning, and recharging) and piloting ozone-based cleaning technology within Vebego Santé. The company is part of the broader Vebego Group (parent Vebego International B.V., Netherlands), which collectively employs nearly 40,000 people across Belgium, Germany, the Netherlands, and Switzerland; Vebego AG contributes the Swiss operations and Switzerland-focused customer base.

The company is privately held with no public ticker, no disclosed funding rounds, and no reported revenue figures in the available source material. It holds EcoVadis Gold (2023) and Best Workplaces in Switzerland recognition (2022), targets CO2-neutrality by 2030, and is undergoing leadership transition: Oliver Hofmann became CEO in August 2025 following Christoph Ackermann's 2024 departure, and Managing Director Business Development Marc Capeder is leaving end of January 2026. The combined signals — 50+ year operating history, scale within the Vebego Group, technology build-out (Soobr, robotics, ozone), and ongoing executive refresh — describe a mature services operator pursuing operational modernization rather than venture-stage expansion.
