Belfa : Un pilier du facility management en Belgique

What is facility management?

Facility management encompasses all the services that enable a company to operate smoothly and optimally: building maintenance, security, cleaning, workspace management, catering, employee services, and more. These support functions, often operating behind the scenes, play a strategic role in the overall performance of organizations.

In a constantly evolving professional world, management of infrastructures and support services is more crucial than ever. It is within this context that belfa (Belgian Facility Association) positions itself as the leading association for facility management professionals in Belgium.
