History

As the founder and owner of ALPECO, I have a solid background of more than 25 years’ of work experience 
in the food, beverage and hospitality industry. Initially trained as a butcher and chef in Germany, I worked
for a brewery for several years, before immigrating to New Zealand in 1999. For the past 12 years,
I have managed a number of hospitality businesses throughout New Zealand. Over the years, I have
had to deal with pest control issues from a customer point of view and started to look for environmentally friendly alternatives to the traditional methods.

Sadly, the only treatments offered in New Zealand involved the extensive use of chemicals and toxins.
However, I discovered alternative solutions have been available abroad…
… reason enough for me to decide to promote these and bring them to New Zealand!
