HiGenius

What HiGenius does

HiGenius is a Belgian B2B cleaning services company headquartered in Genk, Limburg, operating exclusively for business clients across all Flemish provinces, the Brussels-Capital Region, and Wallonia. The company originated as Groep Vandeweyer in 1999 under founder Luc Vandeweyer and was rebranded to HiGenius in 2019 when his son Michiel Vandeweyer succeeded him as CEO and consolidated operations at a new headquarters on Nieuwpoortlaan. Following the 2024 acquisition of LW Cleaning and the November 2025 acquisition of Glowi Facilities, the combined organization exceeds 600 employees and operates as part of the Quality Facility Support group. The company is pursuing an explicit ambition to become a top-10 cleaning company in Belgium.

The service portfolio spans structural general cleaning, project cleaning, window washing, facade and solar panel cleaning, industrial cleaning, cleanroom cleaning compliant with ISO 14644, food-industry cleaning aligned with HACCP, and NADCA-certified air duct cleaning. Delivery is supported by professional equipment including scrubber machines, sweeping machines, autonomous cleaning robots, and osmosis water systems for windows and facades. Fixed cleaning teams are assigned per client, scheduling is flexible including outside business hours, and a butterfly pool provides backup staffing. Certifications held or brought in through acquisitions include NADCA (air ducts), VCA, ISO, HACCP, and ISO 14644 compliance.

Revenue is generated through quote-based, recurring B2B contracts typically running one year with automatic renewal unless cancelled three months in advance; pricing depends on surface area, frequency, environment type, and regulatory complexity. The go-to-market is sales-led and direct, driven by a website-based quote-request flow, in-person site visits, case-study-driven content marketing, and LinkedIn/Facebook presence. Distribution is wholly domestic, and HiGenius explicitly does not serve private consumers. The customer base is diversified across logistics, legal, education, manufacturing, automotive, real estate, entertainment, and business-association segments, with named enterprise clients including Mobis Parts Europe, Pathé Limburg, Syntra PXL, Gosselin, KRC Genk, Alro Group, Jacobs Autocars, and Credon.
