Markas is on track to reach the 500 million turnover target

Founded in Bolzano in 1985, Markas has been a national leader in professional cleaning and catering services within the social and healthcare sector for over 40 years, counting among its clients hospitals, care homes, as well as schools, universities, businesses and hotels throughout Italia. In addition to its Clean and Food services, which together account for almost 90 per cent of the company’s turnover, Markas offers a range of services comprising the Housekeeping division – set up to meet the needs of the hospitality sector – the Facility division, which provides a range of services for the maintenance of buildings, and the Logistics &Care, dedicated to intra-hospital transport and patient care.

In 2025 alone, the Group provided over 95,000 hours of training for its staff and launched initiatives aimed at strengthening the bond between people and fostering a sense of belonging. In the Clean sector, 7,502 staff members ensured the sanitisation of over 4 million m² of surfaces every day, maintaining high quality and operational standards. In the Food sector, the commitment of our staff resulted in the serving of 13,563,839 meals a year, through a structured organisational model based on team coordination and process efficiency.

Specifically, Markas Italia, a multi-service company that has been in business for over 40 years, closed the 2025 financial year with a production value of 337 million euros, accounting for approximately 75 per cent of the Group’s total.

On the client front, the year just ended confirmed the strength of the portfolio: all strategic contracts were renewed, and Markas Italia took part in around 450 tenders, with bids totalling 665 million euros.

Against this backdrop, the organisational structure has been reviewed and strengthened. With effect from 1 July 2026, Evelyn Kirchmaier will move from the role of managing director to that of chief executive officer. Christoph Kasslatter, in his role as chairman, will retain direct leadership of the Group’s companies, thereby overseeing their development and consolidation in international markets. Operational management will be entrusted to two newly appointed managing directors: Claudia Flaim, previously Sales & Marketing Director, will take on the role of Sales & Operations Managing Director with a view to greater integration between the commercial and operational functions; whilst Davide Calderaro, previously Procurement & Maintenance Director, becomes Managing Director of Corporate Services to ensure consistent and coordinated oversight of all corporate functions. This structure promotes internal professional development with the aim of strengthening the Group’s decision-making capacity and preparing the organisation for the challenges of the coming years.

“2025 has brought us solid results, built day by day by our people and thanks to the trust of our customers,” says Evelyn Kirchmaier. “Looking ahead, in the 2026–27 period we are firmly focused on consolidation and stability.”
