Apleona was founded in 1971, originally as a soft services provider, and boasts a legacy rich in FM excellence and German engineering prowess. The company has been through various guises over the last 50 years, initially a part of Bilfinger until it divested its FM businesses in 2016; it was at that time that the‘ Apleona’ name was born. In the years that followed, Apleona has transformed into an FM powerhouse, providing integrated FM and technical services to over 30 countries across Europe and growing its annual revenue from € 1 billion to € 4 billion in 2024. Today, Apleona is headquartered in Neu-Isenburg, Germany – with its UK division based in London – and has around 43,000 employees across the continent. Building upon its previous successes, the company continues to champion its core values and scaling its state-of-the-art digital solutions and project delivery to new heights.
