Building service WEIKAMM

What Building service WEIKAMM does

WEIKAMM GmbH (Gebäudeservice Weikamm) is a privately held, family-owned German building services provider headquartered in Hamburg (Eiffestraße 80) with a regional office in Berlin (Herzbergstraße 82-86) and approximately 800 employees across both cities. The firm traces its origin to a 1963 leather-and-textile cleaning operation, with the modern building-services identity consolidated around 1984; it now operates as a group with three wholly-owned subsidiaries — Garten- und Landschaftsbau GmbH (founded 2011), GEFAS GmbH (acquired 2014, ~100 staff, smaller-ticket contracts including Fielmann and Brillux), and Kind Gebäudemanagement (acquired effective July 1, 2024). Service revenue is generated from five vertical segments — Offices & Administration, Industry & Commerce, Healthcare, Education, and Housing/Residential Property Management — supplemented by add-on facility management modules (Hausmeisterdienst, OP/clinic services, outdoor maintenance, utility cost billing, and energy management).

The company's product portfolio is delivered through trained, certified field staff using proprietary protocols such as the Vier-Farbsystem (four-color cleaning cloth system) and per-object HACCP concepts for food and healthcare clients. Underlying technology is modest but certified: a computer-based quality management system (computergestütztes Qualitätsmanagementsystem) in use since 2009 monitors SLA compliance and supports the firm's DIN EN ISO 9001, 14001, 45001, and 50001 certified management systems. WEIKAMM is also a certified Meisterbetrieb, a member of the Qualitätsverbund Gebäudedienste, and as of 2026 holds an EcoVadis Gold sustainability rating (Top 5%), upgraded from Silver (Top 15%) in 2025.

WEIKAMM's commercial model is a direct, sales-led motion: each customer is assigned a dedicated Objektleitung (account manager), service plans are quoted on a per-object, per-month basis, and the company bundles recurring cleaning, deep/specialty cleaning, glass cleaning, and facility management into either modular or full-service packages. The GTM emphasizes personal account management over digital self-service, supported by a free-call number (0800/WEIKAMM), website lead forms, and selected industry event participation (CMS Berlin). Named reference customers include Juwelier Wempe (since 2018), SKF Marine (since 2002), Altenzentrum Ansgar/Diakonie, Lohmeyer Immobilien, and VW Drive, alongside historical logos (Mercedes-Benz, PricewaterhouseCoopers). Leadership sits with managing directors Rhett Weikamm (third-generation owner) and Florian Höffken (joined as a dual student in 2003, appointed CEO May 1, 2023), with founder Wolfgang Weikamm continuing as Prokurist.
