Qleen

What Qleen does

Qleen Equipamentos is a Brazilian private company headquartered in Caxias do Sul, Rio Grande do Sul, that operates as the exclusive importer, representative, and distributor in Brazil of QLEEN and PURAQLEEN professional surface cleaning systems manufactured by the German firm Lehmann KG. The partnership, established in 2011, gives Qleen sole rights to the QLEEN/PURAQLEEN brand and product line in Brazil, with automatic access to new products developed by the German parent engineering team. The company's core offering is the PURAQLEEN water purification cleaning method, which uses ion exchange columns to instantly demineralize water, turning it into a chemical-free cleaning agent that consumes roughly 90 liters per hour — 5-6 times less than conventional cleaning methods.

Qleen's product portfolio spans ground-based cleaning stations (QLEEN PROFI, DISY, PURASTART, and the vehicle-mounted AUTARK series), the AIR QLEEN drone-based cleaning system launched in 2024, ROTAQLEEN rotating brush attachments in Classic, Vario, and Vario Light variants, telescopic carbon and hybrid poles reaching up to 20 meters, and a range of specialized brushes, hoses, and resin consumables. The systems are positioned for professional cleaning of glass facades, ACM panels, roofs, solar panels, and other vertical surfaces, with single-operator remote control operation claimed to deliver 35% productivity gains over traditional methods. Customers span professional building cleaning companies, solar energy facilities, commercial buildings, industrial facilities, and specialized surface cleaning applications including aviation and outdoor advertising.

Commercially, Qleen operates a direct sales model from its Caxias do Sul headquarters, with quote-based pricing across its professional and semi-professional product lines. Lead generation combines digital channels (website product catalog, blog, email newsletter) with phone and WhatsApp direct contact for enterprise and mid-market buyers. The company has 1-10 employees, no disclosed funding, no published revenue, no publicly disclosed named customers, and no management team listed in the source data. It maintains a small physical footprint consisting of a single Brazilian office, with global reach of the underlying QLEEN/PURAQLEEN brand being attributable to the German parent's distribution across 27+ countries rather than to Qleen's own operations.

Scale indicators7 records

Recent moves4 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• IPC Group (Fimap / IPC): Italian-headquartered group of professional cleaning equipment brands serving industrial and commercial cleaning contractors globally. Comparable as a broad incumbent in B2B cleaning equipment and provides scale-based reference points for Qleen's professional station range.
• Kärcher (Alfred Kärcher SE & Co. KG): Global leader in professional and consumer cleaning equipment — high-pressure washers, window vacs, scrubbers, outdoor equipment. Overlaps with Qleen on professional outdoor / façade cleaning, but as a broad incumbent with a much larger portfolio; relevant for price/value benchmarking and competitive landscape.

Emerging players

• Lucid Drone Technologies: US-based drone cleaning startup offering aerial exterior cleaning services and platforms. Directly comparable to AIR QLEEN on the drone-cleaning frontier; useful as an emerging competitive reference and indicator of category velocity.

Direct peers

• Ionic Systems: UK-based pioneer of pure-water cleaning systems (Reach-iT water-fed poles, QUAD brush heads). Closely comparable in core technology — demineralized water cleaning — and target market of professional window and façade cleaners, providing a useful benchmark for PURAQLEEN's commercial traction abroad.
• SkyVac International: UK manufacturer of high-reach vacuum and cleaning systems, including drone-deployed gutter and façade cleaning. Comparable to Qleen on the high-reach / aerial-cleaning side of the portfolio (AIR QLEEN) and in serving the same B2B cleaning contractor channel with premium specialized equipment.
• Unger Industries: German manufacturer of professional window and façade cleaning tools, including the water-fed HydroPower pole systems. Most direct global comparable to Qleen: same customer base (professional cleaning firms), same channel (B2B distribution), and a directly overlapping technology stack (telescopic poles, water-fed cleaning) — a relevant benchmark for QLEEN's product positioning.

Regional players

• Cleanfix Reinigungssysteme AG: Swiss manufacturer of commercial and industrial cleaning machines (scrubbers, vacuum systems, sweepers). Comparable as a mid-sized European specialist with overlapping professional cleaning-equipment offerings; relevant benchmark for Qleen's positioning in the European parent / Latin American distribution setup.
• TTS Cleaning S.r.l. Italian manufacturer of professional cleaning tools, trolleys and cleaning carts for B2B janitorial and facility-maintenance contractors. Comparable to the brush / pole / accessory side of Qleen's portfolio and as a regional European player with overlapping channels into commercial cleaning companies.
