DIW supports the "Facility Management - Die Moeglichmacher" initiative

Be it at a football stadium or on the premises of a manufacturing plant, neither public life nor a sophisticated industry will survive without professional facility management.

But only a few are aware of what facility management actually is. What hides behind this laborious English term is a growth industry with an annual turnover of around EUR 50 billion that is only increasing with each passing year.

What is the objective of this campaign?

The “Facility Management – Die Moeglichmacher” initiative wants to strengthen the public image of facility management and present it as an attractive and a challenging work environment. Twelve service providers in the facility management sector have joined this initiative, which also has the support of DIW, one of the leading players in this field.

Facility management offers a wide spectrum of services and promising career opportunities

“FM ensures that buildings function without a hitch and simultaneously creates optimal production and working conditions,” explains Elke Kuhlmann, spokesperson for “Möglichmacher”. Facility Management covers all secondary processes that enable companies to support and to improve their core business. These processes cover everything from the management and maintenance of buildings and outdoor installations along with security services such as plant supervision and fire protection to fleet management.

The initiative would now like to present this range of indispensable services to the public through an advertising campaign. “This new and growing industry offers a stimulating work environment and excellent future prospects,” elaborates Kuhlmann.
