Dussmann Sets New Economic Horizons in 2024
Dussmann surpasses revenue record in 2024, posting significant financial growth. - Anticipated Record-Breaking Sales for Dussmann in 2024
Gearing up for record-breaking success, Berlin's multi-faceted service provider, Dussmann, has left its mark in 2024 with an impressive 3.3 billion euros in revenue. This monumental feat was disclosed by Catherine von Fürstenberg-Dussmann, the chairperson of the supervisory board, highlighting an 8.4% increase from the previous year.
This phenomenal surge was primarily driven by expanded contracts in building management and technical facilities. Not only did the company boost its earnings but also fortified its financial health.
The cultural department store in Berlin city continues to be its iconic symbol, contributing the least to the business. The global conglomerate, however, employs approximately 70,000 individuals across 21 nations. Their primary income streams encompass building management, catering, care, and technical services that include cleaning and monitoring industrial and office buildings. These segments collectively accounted for roughly two-thirds of the revenue generated in 2024.
Technical Plant Construction emerging as a growth engine
Dussmann aspires to pioneer in the domain of technical plant construction. In 2024, the company donned the role of a general contractor for a new data center in Germany and other industries like pharmaceuticals, retail, and logistics. This segment now represents about one-fifth of the total revenue and is projected to expand to nearly a third in the mid-term.
The care business presents a more intricate picture. Dussmann runs privately-owned kindergartens and senior living facilities. Despite not expanding to new locations as planned, revenue still escalated due to higher occupancy rates and increased care fees.
The cultural department store in Berlin set a new sales record of 45 million euros. Despite being the smallest of the four business segments, its worldwide uniqueness adds to its recognition. According to von Fürstenberg-Dussmann, "over my dead body" will the iconic store accommodate competition.
