About Penn Jersey

A Community Business

Since joining Penn Jersey in 1986, Glenn Stieffenhofer has combined his passion for the business with a firm commitment to the Philadelphia 19104 community. He’s continued to build upon the traditions of company founder, Ruby Katzin. Despite a 7 year sabbatical as Associate Director of Housing at the University of Pennsylvania, Glenn continued to expand the business including doubling the workforce, expanded services, and maintaining first class services.

To University of Penn

57 years ago, Ruby Katzin, founder of Penn Jersey, relocated his business to West Philadelphia to enhance support for The University of Pennsylvania’s students, staff, and management. Over decades, he fostered partnerships with the university and expanded services across the city, integrating into the broader community.

Is Philadelphia West

“My name’s Cliff Katzin, and I’ve worked at Penn Jersey all my adult life. I was a young man when my father started this business 57 years ago, and under his guidance and determination, I’ve taken on the values which have driven our growth over the years. One of the biggest benefits of choosing Penn Jersey is our longevity; we’ve been there, seen it all, and cleaned it.”

Ready For Anything

“I’m one of the most experienced people at Penn Jersey. Since joining, I have worked mostly on UPenn projects, where my focus has been on safety, project planning and excellent delivery of service”
