A large area of Signal Iduna Park has been converted into a treatment centre and testing station for coronavirus patients and suspected cases. Bundesliga football club Borussia Dortmund and the Westphalia-Lippe Association of Statutory Health Insurance Physicians arranged for the necessary renovations to be carried out in order to relieve the burden on general practitioners and their staff with a separate treatment centre. This also reduces the potential for chains of infection. The Stölting Service Group is now also responsible for all cleaning work at the stadium's coronavirus treatment centre. This ensures the necessary hygiene and cleanliness for the entire duration of operations.
Patrick Engel, Managing Director of Stölting GmbH Reinigung und Service, says: „We are delighted to be part of this important medical initiative and to be able to prove ourselves as a reliable and helpful partner to BVB, even during the crisis. Our employees work hard and conscientiously to ensure that the necessary hygiene and cleanliness requirements are met one hundred percent. It goes without saying that we also make sure that our staff are protected as well as possible in this not entirely safe work.“
Stölting has been cleaning all BVB properties since 2017, ensuring cleanliness in the stadium, on the training grounds, in the administration building, in the football school and in the fan shops.
The Stölting Service Group is on duty for BVB at football events 365 days a year, almost around the clock. Up to 150 employees a day keep the BVB grounds clean – both outside and inside.
The coronavirus crisis and its consequences are demanding a lot from everyone, and so sensible alternatives and creativity have become valuable drivers in these difficult times. Especially in crises, it is important to be able to count on reliable partners.
The Stölting Service Group is such a partner for BVB and continues to guarantee professional cleaning in the stadium and in its newly established treatment centre.
