Green Front

What Green Front does

Green Front GmbH is an Austrian facility-services company headquartered in Linz, founded in 2012 originally as die Reinigungsfront GmbH as a traditional building cleaning business, and rebranded in 2018 around a biotechnology and sustainability positioning. The company employs more than 40 people and operates exclusively within Austria, with its primary market in Upper Austria and a secondary sales contact point in Gallspach. It is privately held and led by owner-managing director Mag. Michael Pellosch.

Green Front runs a dual business model. The services arm delivers recurring maintenance cleaning, glass and facade cleaning, deep floor restoration, facility management, post-construction cleaning, and a newer photovoltaic system cleaning line, contracted primarily under one-year agreements with three-month termination notice to commercial clients including offices, retail, gastronomy, industrial facilities, schools, and medical practices. The trading arm sells a proprietary BioTeno and AquaTeno product family of biotechnological, enzyme- and microorganism-based, pH-neutral, 100% biodegradable cleaning agents, sourced through a core technology partnership with Innuscience and distributed via a dedicated independent sales agent. Product distribution is supported by equipment partnerships with VERMOP and washroom hygiene partnership with TORK.

The company's commercial differentiator rests on biotech-based formulations holding EU Ecolabel certification (AT/052/001), high product concentration that reduces packaging and water use, electric rather than diesel lifting platforms, and a broader sustainability stack that includes Ecosia cooperation and digital invoicing. No revenue, funding, or headcount-growth figures are publicly disclosed, and the company has not raised external capital or executed acquisitions.

Core offering

Green Front GmbH is an Austrian B2B cleaning services provider and trading company. It delivers commercial cleaning services — maintenance cleaning, glass and facade cleaning, deep/floor cleaning, construction cleaning, facility management, and photovoltaic system cleaning — to offices, retail spaces, medical practices, gastronomy, industrial facilities, and kindergartens/schools. Alongside the service business, it trades a proprietary line of biotechnological, enzyme- and microorganism-based cleaning products (BioTeno and AquaTeno families) used in its own operations and resold to commercial buyers.

Product overview

Green Front GmbH is an Austrian building cleaning company headquartered in Linz, founded in 2012, operating a dual business model as both a cleaning services provider and a trading company for sustainable cleaning products. The service portfolio comprises Unterhaltsreinigung (maintenance/recurring cleaning), Glasreinigung (glass and facade cleaning), Grundreinigung (deep cleaning), Hausbetreuung (facility management), Baureinigung (construction cleaning), and PV Anlagenreinigung (photovoltaic system cleaning). The proprietary product range is built on biotechnological/probiotic cleaning formulations — the BioTeno product family (BioTeno Yellow, Blue, Red, Air, Green, Green+) and the AquaTeno product family (AquaTeno Graffitientferner, AquaTeno Intensivreiniger, AquaTeno San Air) — all combining enzymes and specialized microorganisms for deep, long-lasting, and fully biodegradable surface cleaning. These products serve as the core differentiator and are used both internally and sold through the company's trading arm, with partners including Innuscience and local equipment suppliers. Green Front holds an EU Ecolabel (AT/052/001) for its household cleaning products and positions itself as a holistic sustainable cleaning concept spanning chemical products, packaging (recycling and reusable bottles), digital processes, electric equipment, and fair employee practices.

Scale indicators3 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Others

• Tork (Essity): Essity's professional hygiene brand and a listed partner of Green Front for washroom hygiene. Comparable as an eco-positioned B2B hygiene supplier; positioned as an ecosystem tie-in rather than a direct cleaning services rival.
• Kärcher: Global leader in cleaning equipment and a major supplier of tools and accessories to commercial cleaning services. Comparable as an ecosystem partner/enabler; not a direct services competitor but adjacent in the cleaning value chain.

Direct peers

• Hagleitner Hygiene International: Austrian hygiene and cleaning products company with a broad professional cleaning and washroom hygiene portfolio. Comparable to Green Front because it serves the same DACH commercial customers with a combined products-and-services model, though Hagleitner is much larger and ranges beyond biotech.
• Werner & Mertz (Frosch): German manufacturer of ecological cleaning products under the Frosch brand, an EU Ecolabel holder. Comparable on eco-friendly cleaning formulations in the DACH market; differs in being a consumer/institutional brand rather than a service-plus-product operator.

Broad incumbents

• Sodexo Facility Management: Global facility services company with cleaning as a flagship offering for offices, schools, and healthcare. Comparable in target customer profile; differs in global scale and standardization versus Green Front's local, biotech-led model.
• Dussmann Group: One of the largest facility services groups in the DACH region, with cleaning services as a core offering across commercial real estate, healthcare, and industry. Comparable to Green Front on customer segments and overall service scope; differs in scale and breadth, and is more generalist than eco-focused.
• WISAG Industrie Service: German facility services and industrial services provider with a deep commercial cleaning practice. Comparable on service scope and customer types; less differentiated on sustainability positioning.

Regional players

• Gegenbauer Group: Austrian/German facility services group offering commercial cleaning, building maintenance, and integrated FM. Comparable to Green Front on service portfolio and geography but at significantly larger scale and without an eco/biotech product trading arm.
