What Indutec International Holding Gmbh & Co. Kg does

INDUTEC International Holding GmbH & Co. KG is a family-owned German industrial services group operating under the INDUTEC and IWAGO brands, headquartered in Kerpen. Founded in 1969 by Herbert Stein as Stein und Müller GmbH, the group provides a comprehensive portfolio of industrial cleaning, maintenance, personnel leasing, building cleaning and ancillary industrial services to over 1,000 enterprise customers across six European countries (Germany, Belgium, the Netherlands, Poland, Portugal and Spain). Major served verticals include automotive (Volkswagen, Daimler Benz, Ford-Werke Düren), energy & power, chemical & pharmaceutical, food & beverage, metals & steel, paper/printing/packaging, recycling, building materials and mechanical engineering.

The group's technology base is a high-performance physical machine fleet rather than a software platform: vacuum systems up to 10,000 m³/h, ultra-high-pressure water systems up to 3,000 bar, dry-ice, sand and waterjet blasting technologies, suction and disposal systems, and diagnostic workshop equipment sold via the IWAGO Diagnosetechnik online shop. The company holds six registered patents at the Munich Patent Office covering rail car cleaning, tube bundle cleaning, boiler cleaning, drying processes, disposal methods and industrial boiler cleaning. It operates through nine wholly-owned subsidiaries and a decentralized network of 13+ branch offices across Germany, supported by ISO 9001, ISO 14001, SCC 2021, SCP 2021, WHG and LkSG certifications.

The business model is overwhelmingly project-based and labor-intensive. Revenue (disclosed at approximately €150 million annually) is generated through multi-year framework agreements with industrial accounts, project-based contracts, hourly/time-and-materials billing, and temporary-staffing engagements under Arbeitnehmerüberlassung permits. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed, billed net of VAT with 14-day payment terms and surcharges for out-of-hours and emergency work. The group employs 4,000+ trained workers (1,500 full-time and 2,500 part-time) and is currently led by managing directors Margret Stein, Herbert Stein and Frank Keune.
