"We are driving the disruption of a gigantic $30 billion industry with Futura, and we're in the middle of it. The last years we have mastered incredible things with our team: our company has grown strongly internationally thanks to and with our customers and we as CEOs have set the course for this to continue even steeper in the coming years for exponential growth and sustainable change in the pest control industry. Our solutions are technologically at the very highest level and we have earned the title of "quality market leader" over decades and will continue to develop solutions that will inspire you in the future."
"I am proud that as a family business we can work sustainably on the big vision without outside investors (such as VCs, angels or private equity) and without short-term, monetary goals. This makes us strong, because digitizing our industry is not a sprint, but a marathon. It's exciting to see startups mimicking what we already developed 5 years ago and copying our strategy. What they don't know is what we are already working on for tomorrow and how high our technological lead is. I am proud that for more than 20 years we have been doing good with professional companies worldwide: we are making an industry more sustainable and helping it to keep out and manage pests worldwide much more effectively. With innovations from Germany, we are proud to be called a "non-champion". The truth is: we are just at the beginning of Futura's potential. I expect that by 2030 we will be turning over €100 million and employing well over 100 people."
