The development of facility management in Germany is inextricably linked to the history of HSG Zander.
HSG and the facility constructor Zander were amongst the first companies in Germany to establish the development towards professional facility management. As early as the 70s, the employees of what would later become HSG were entrusted with the task of operating the completed major turn-key projects of its parent company, a major German construction company, in the Middle East and keeping them in good condition over the years. During the same period, the Zander company began building up its activities in the area of facility management as a facilities manufacturer and gearing them towards the needs of a growing market. Increasing know how and expanding markets lead to expertise within the construction group being pooled in 1988 in an own subsidiary, HSG, which from then on was one of the largest FM service providers in Germany. In parallel and after various mergers, M+W Zander D.I.B. Facility Management came into being in 2002 which also held key market share in Germany and abroad.
With the integration of the facility management division of M+W Zander in 2008, the new HSG Zander Group within Bilfinger Berger AG is now one of the world?s leading providers in the field of integrated facility management.
