Greenzone celebrates its first very successful year in the Australian termite market.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

Back in 2010, when Greenzone Termite and Insect Barrier<\/a> was just an idea scribbled on a napkin, Paul<\/strong> Commerford<\/strong>, Greenzone founder and director, never imagined the long journey ahead of him and his team to take his idea and turn it into a tangible product.<\/p>\n

Even after eight years of R&D, testing and trials, consulting entomologists and ensuring the product adhered to Australian regulatory bodies, there was\u00a0never a guarantee that the product would succeed. So celebrating one year is something the Greenzone team is especially proud of.<\/p>\n

Whilst Mr Commerford is delighted to see Greenzone reaching its first birthday milestone, the team is by\u00a0no means resting on its laurels, with plans to build on\u00a0its success with the release of several new products. These include the Greenzone Sock Barrier<\/a>, a Greenzone termiticidal adhesive and sealant, and a much anticipated Greenzone termite sheet barrier product.<\/p>\n

Business development manager Owen<\/strong> Lewis<\/strong> is equally thrilled about Greenzone\u2019s first year of growth, having made the switch to the industry back in early 2018. \u201cI\u2019ve found the pest control industry very welcoming to new members like myself, with various individuals more than willing to share their knowledge, which has been extremely helpful,\u201d said Mr Lewis.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was always a big risk switching over from a large multinational company to an Australian start-up business. However, I\u2019m pleased at how well the company has\u00a0been received within the industry. I\u2019ve been particularly impressed by the willingness shown by pest managers and business owners to get behind and support a new Australian business.<\/p>\n

\u201cI genuinely believe we lead the way in customer service by offering great support and listening to consumer feedback. We will will maintain this approach as the core focus of our business,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

With nearly 400 accredited installers Australia-wide, Greenzone is fast becoming a preferred product for many applications on pre-construction jobs. One such installer is Phil<\/strong> Sweeney<\/strong> from Superior Pest Control\u00a0in Newcastle, NSW, who together with his team, are frequent users of Greenzone and recognise its on-site benefits.<\/p>\n

\u201cGreenzone has been the answer to a question a lot of our builders were asking us when it came to construction joins and the like,\u201d said Mr Sweeney. \u201cAdding Greenzone to our list of pre-construction products has given us a significant point of difference to our competitors, whilst the support offered by the Greenzone team completes the deal.\u201d<\/p>\n
