MEETING THE HIGHEST STANDARDS
Futura was founded over 20 years ago with the aim of developing innovations for the pest control industry. From the beginning, this has meant creating solutions for the highest standards in the world: IFS, but also for AIB, BRC, GMP and more, most of which aim to completely avoid toxins and require 24/7 monitoring due to low risk tolerance. This is how success stories and products such as Nara® Monitoring, eMitter® Digital Traps, Gorilla Traps® Professional Traps, RatCap® and many more were created and are used in thousands of IFS companies.
IFS Pathway partner
Futura is a proud IFS Pathway Partner. Our CEO Daniel has worked hand in hand with the IFS team as a consultant regarding the guideline for many years and was even personally mentioned on page 2 of the guideline. Futura is a big fan of IFS. We are sure that IFS has recognised the importance of pest control for its customers and is helping our industry to become even more modern.
IFS AND THE IPM PRINCIPLE
IFS is an absolute leader in the modern pest management approach, which includes the IPM principle, the importance of sustainability, the reduction of rodenticides, the use of monitoring, of digital IoT products for early warning, sealing, digital documentation and much more. With the new IFS guideline, IFS is setting a trend for further changes in the field of pest control with a focus on "Digital and Sustainable".
Integrated Pest Management - or IPM - is primarily a long-term prevention process to address pest problems in business, institutions or buildings while minimising risks to people and the environment.
