SL’s first ISO 22000 Food Safety Management System certified disinfection service provider
The Exterminators:
The Exterminators (Pvt) Ltd., announced that it was named Sri Lanka’s first, as well as, most probably the world’s, ISO 22000 Food Safety Management System certified disinfection service provider.
For over 23 years since 1998, The Exterminators (Pvt) Ltd., has helped prevent diseases and protect homes and businesses by pioneering, developing, delivering and articulating sustainable environmental enhancement and public health protection solutions.
The company is the winner of 55 National/International awards for business, brand excellence, entrepreneurship and environmental leadership and the eight-time Champion SME brand Sri Lanka. Exterminators Sri Lanka’s premier environmental enhancement solutions provider is certified ISO 9001, ISO 14001, OHSAS 18001, ISO 22000 way back in 2008, 2009, 2010 & 2017 respectively for pest control, termite control and mosquito control services and in 2020, 2021 for disinfection services.
“In the evolutionary arms race between humanity and microbes, the latter is making a comeback. We’ve conquered diseases such as smallpox and polio and deaths from communicable diseases have been falling worldwide. But since 1970, more than 1,500 new pathogens have been discovered, according to the World Health Organization. Pandemics such as SARS and Covid-19 in the 21st century saw rapid transmission”, said Marlon Ferreira, Founder/Managing Director.
Outbreaks previously localized have now become global very rapidly, and today, it is a reality that humans are losing the battle. Businesses are expected to be less harmful, more transparent, and to actively participate in making positive changes to improve the environment. As a leader in the pest management industry and the SME sector in Sri Lanka, we believe that we have a moral obligation to respond to this new paradigm to adopt a business model of increased accountability”, he stressed.
