Germany’s leading bank, Deutsche Bank, has extended its integrated facilities management (IFM) partnership deal with Apleona, with an agreement until 31 December 2029.
The partnership dates back to 2001 and has been continuously expanded and developed over the past 25 years. Deutsche Bank is now one of Apleona’s major clients, supported by a modern IFM contract from Apleona’s International Corporate Clients (ICC) division.
The portfolio comprises approximately 825 properties and locations in Germany and Luxembourg. It ranges from the famous towers in Frankfurt, Deutsche Bank’s headquarters, to branches and locations with ATMs, including those of Deutsche Bank’s Postbank brand.
The depth and range of services provided is now at a very high level. Apleona provides almost the full range of real estate services, from facilities services (including technical facilities management, maintenance and refurbishment), client services (including cleaning, catering, mail distribution and reception services), operational management (energy and space management) and contract management (e.g. finance and reporting, business continuity management).
Apleona is also supporting Deutsche Bank on its path to net zero with decarbonisation and energy optimisation services.
Dr Jochen Keysberg, CEO of Apleona said: “The close and trusted relationship with Deutsche Bank shows that a facilities management service provider can evolve over the years into a strategic partner that actively supports its client’s portfolio, workplace and sustainability strategy with the aim of continuously strengthening its portfolio and flexibly adapting it to changing needs. With Apleona’s support, Deutsche Bank has been decarbonising its real estate portfolio for many years.”
Rebecca Short, Chief Operating Officer for Deutsche Bank, commented: “Our long-standing relationship with Apleona is built on trust, collaboration and a shared goal to create the best possible workspaces for our employees to come together and serve our clients. With this new contract, we have secured efficient and stable building operations in our German and Luxembourg markets.”
FMJ has partnered with global worktech leader, Eptura, to deliver a webinar on Thursday 26 June at 11am to discuss Eptura’s 2025 Workplace Index that suggests that over a third of employers are proactively looking to increase office attendance which could result in a rise in the use of AI and cross-platform data analytics to help manage FM operations.
The webinar will bring together experts from Eptura, along with FM thought leaders on the adoption of integrated solutions that unleash powerful data analytics capabilities, leading to increased productivity and reduced operational costs.
