Contech Enterprises, Victoria, British Columbia, has acquired Michigan-based pest management products company, Tanglefoot. Tanglefoot has been manufacturing chemical-free pest management products for 125 years. Contech started designing and distributing environmentally-friendly garden and pet products in 1987.
The Tanglefoot purchase adds numerous new products to Contech’s green garden and pest management line, including insect traps, tree care and animal repellents. Tanglefoot products are sold to city parks and urban forestry departments and in lawn and garden centers, nurseries, and hardware stores worldwide.
Contech’s company headquarters—including marketing, sales, engineering and administration—will remain in Victoria, British Columbia. Operations and science will continue to reside in Vancouver, British Columbia. The manufacturing and distribution for Tanglefoot products will remain—where it has been for more than 100 years—at the Tanglefoot headquarters in Grand Rapids, Mich.
