Rentokil Acquires Eitan Amichai IPM Ltd

Rentokil has entered the Israel market with the acquisition of Eitan Amichai IPM Ltd. The acquisition was announced by The Potomac Company, advisors to Eitan Amicahi IPM.

This acquisition substantially bolsters Rentokils global capabilities in the remote monitoring segment of commercial pest control. IPM specializes in the safety of commercial spaces offering their high-end pest control services to over 7,500 commercial sites in Israel including Nestle, Unilever, Strauss Group, the Tempo and Heineken group, Coca-Cola, Teva Pharmaceuticals, McDonalds, KFC, Pizza Hut, Domino’s, Facebook, Microsoft, Google, and more. 

IPM was founded in 1963 by Eitan Amichai who, with over 50 years of pest control experience, laid the foundation for high quality pest solutions specifically in the food, pharmaceutical, and hospitality industries.  Amichai’s vision was to transform the pest control industry by providing real-time intelligence at a customer's site, allowing technicians to interact with a site automatically and remotely and start their service in a more dynamic and timely fashion compared with traditional methods, providing a more effective and efficient service as well as a better experience for the customers. 

Eitan’s son, Ronen, joined the family business and helped grow the company’s workforce from 5 employees to over 100. In 2014, Ronen became the owner and CEO and worked to grow IPM into the largest, most widely known pest control service across Israel. Ronen followed in his father’s footsteps and implemented AI technology into their services, featuring a self-monitoring, non-toxic rodent trapping system boosting their customer expansion and retention success.

Ronen commented on the transaction, “We are thrilled to partner with Rentokil, and we anticipate the opportunity to work with a company that shares IPM’s goals and priorities.”
