The acquisition is Anticimex’s first in Portugal since the acquisition of ISS Pest Control in March 2013 and forms part of its strategy to expand its footprint across all regions of the Portuguese market via organic growth and further acquisitions.

Paulo Coelho, Country President Anticimex Portugal, commented:

“I am very proud to announce the acquisition of Higicontrol that is one of the biggest Pest Control Companies in Portugal. This acquisition will help us to strengthen our position in the Portuguese market, increasing our density and expand our customer base. Higicontrol provides high-quality services and has a highly competent operational and management team. So I don’t have any doubt that Higicontrol fits very well with our values, culture, and strategy”.
