What aktiv-plus Dienstleistungs GmbH does

aktiv-plus Dienstleistungs GmbH is a privately held German building cleaning and facility services provider headquartered in Geldern (North Rhine-Westphalia), founded in 2006 by Alfred Boersma. The company delivers six core service modules — Unterhaltsreinigung (maintenance cleaning), Außenflächen- und Parkplatzreinigung (exterior/parking lot cleaning), Tages- und Servicekräfte (day/service staff for in-hours support), Grund- und Sonderreinigung (deep and specialized cleaning), Glasreinigung (glass cleaning), and Einkaufswagendienst (shopping cart management) — to business, retail, and public-sector clients across the Niederrhein-to-Ruhr corridor. With 800+ employees and four owned branch offices (Geldern, Mönchengladbach, Aachen, Gladbeck) plus a partner entity (aktiv-plus Nord) in Domsühl, the company is ranked among the top 10 building cleaning providers in the Niederrhein region and reports a 98% customer satisfaction rate.

The operating model is a labor-intensive, direct-delivery service business: cleaning is performed by company-employed staff using certified chemistry (Dr. Schnell eco-products with EU Ecolabel and Cradle-to-Cradle Gold certification), reusable microfiber materials, and digital workflows for planning and client communication. Quality and environmental management systems are certified to DIN EN ISO 9001:2015 and DIN EN ISO 14001:2015 by Intertek, and the company is a member of Qualitätsverbund Gebäudedienste. Pricing is quote-based and individually tailored; contracts are recurring and typically multi-year. Reported revenue is €12 million for fiscal year 2024.

Customer concentration is diversified across municipalities (Stadt Wegberg, Bottrop, Krefeld, Hürth), retail (EDEKA Kusenberg, Polster Aktuell, Baustoffe Stewes), healthcare (GeldernMED, Caritas Geldern, Cuypers Apotheken), automotive (FETT & WIRTZ), industrial (TAKKT), energy (Stoffmehl Gruppe), telecom (GasLINE) and fitness (uniquesport). Leadership consists of two Geschäftsführer — founder Alfred Boersma and Tobias Menting, appointed co-Managing Director on 1 January 2023 — and the company is family-owned with no disclosed PE/VC backing, funding rounds, M&A activity, or external shareholders.
