Apleona Real Estate AG

What Apleona Real Estate AG does

Apleona Schweiz AG, formerly operating as Apleona Real Estate AG (and prior to that Apleona HSG AG), is the Swiss operating entity of the pan-European Apleona Group, headquartered in Wallisellen, Switzerland. Following the January 1, 2022 merger of Apleona HSG AG and Apleona Real Estate AG, the company delivers integrated facility management and real estate management services across Switzerland through approximately 1,700 employees drawn from 60 nationalities and a network of 14 locations spanning from Geneva to St. Gallen. Its service portfolio spans the full property lifecycle: integral facility management with high in-house operational depth, commercial and technical property management, rental and retail/center management, sales and construction services, plus specialty offerings including Green Real Estate sustainability services, Erst- und Spezialvermietung (initial and specialty leasing), and HSEQ/ESG compliance support. The company also operates Mieterportal Leona, a digital tenant portal providing 24/7 access to tenant data, contracts, and invoices.

The business operates as a B2B managed-services provider under custom contract-based pricing with no publicly disclosed rate cards. Revenue is generated through long-tail service contracts with property owners and institutional investors, with secondary revenue from tenants using the Leona portal. Disclosed FY2025 revenue stands at 194 million CHF, positioning Apleona Schweiz as one of the larger multi-service property management providers in Switzerland. The go-to-market is direct enterprise sales targeting property owners, institutional investors, and corporate clients, supported by relationship-based account management and an employee tenure profile that suggests long client engagements (e.g., a Lausanne branch manager onboarded in 2007).

Ownership sits with Apleona Group as the strategic parent; Apleona Schweiz AG is privately held with no public listing. The company is led by CEO Christoph Ackermann, dual COOs Markus Faber and Thomas Scheiber, and interim CFO Wenke Amberg. The company reinvests 15% of profits into employee training and development, and it reports a 30-year operating history in Switzerland, having celebrated its anniversary in 2024. No public funding rounds, M&A activity outside the 2022 internal merger, AI/ML capabilities, or named third-party technology partnerships are disclosed in the available material.
