Envu Signs Definitive Agreement to Acquire In2Care

Cary, N.C. — Envu announced it has signed an agreement to acquire In2Care, a technology company headquartered in the Netherlands that specializes in the development and commercialization of novel mosquito control products. The acquisition will further diversify the Envu mosquito management portfolio, offering pest control operators, lawn care companies, mosquito abatement professionals and other customers more nature-positive innovations for nuisance mosquito control and preventing the spread of vector-borne diseases.

In2Care has developed a patented technology called InsecTech. Applied on netting, the static-charged coating can bind all types of biocide powders and transfer lethal doses to mosquitoes. This technology is currently available in a professional mosquito station that thousands of pest control operators are leveraging in the U.S. to control mosquitoes for homeowner customers. The station is also in the process of being registered in other countries around the world and is seeing adoption in places like Brazil, Saudi Arabia, Thailand and Singapore. In addition to the professional mosquito station, In2Care has other environmentally friendly products in the works featuring InsecTech that can be used globally for mosquito management.

“As a company committed to 360° innovation, nature-positive solutions and helping protect public health, Envu is delighted to welcome the In2Care team to the Envu family,” said Gilles Galliou, Envu CEO. “Together, we will build upon and accelerate the growth of their exciting mosquito-management technologies and bring them to more customers around the world as we work to advance healthy environments.”

Envu has been partnering with In2Care for two years, so the companies know each other well and are equally passionate about mosquito management innovation and helping prevent the spread of vector-borne diseases, said Envu.

“We admire the commitment Envu has to the mosquito management segment, its deep expertise and resources and the strength of its presence on the ground,” said Anne Osinga, CEO of In2Care. “We are excited to join them in partnering with customers across the globe to help effectively manage the threat of mosquitoes while minimizing our impact on the environment.”

The transaction is expected to close by year-end 2024. The financial terms of the deal were not disclosed.
