WEISS Hygiene-Service GmbH

What WEISS Hygiene-Service GmbH does

WEISS Hygiene-Service GmbH is a privately held, fourth-generation family-owned pest control and hygiene services company headquartered in Frankfurt am Main, Germany, operating continuously for over 100 years (founded 1910). The company delivers pest elimination, pigeon deterrence, digital pest monitoring, and special cleaning and disinfection services to private households, gastronomy and hotel businesses, industry and logistics operators, property managers, government authorities, and educational institutions across the Rhine-Main region and beyond. Service coverage extends to 20+ cities in Hesse and Rhineland-Palatinate, with a wholly-owned Wiesbaden branch operating under the MARNI – Hygiene-Dienst brand.

The company's service portfolio is anchored in three pillars: Schädlingsbekämpfung (pest control for rodents, insects, and other vermin), Taubenabwehr (pigeon deterrence using spikes, nets, tension wires, electric and sound-pressure systems, including solar panel protection), and Monitoring & Prävention (preventive service contracts, HACCP compliance documentation per EU Regulation 852/2004, and a digital Permanent Monitoring system that uses connected traps with SMS/email/app alerts). Additional offerings include disinfection, gutter cleaning, apartment clearance, crime scene cleaning, odor neutralization, and aerial platform rental. The Permanent Monitoring system and digital HACCP documentation represent the principal technology differentiators, positioning WEISS beyond a generic extermination service into compliance-grade recurring revenue for food-industry and logistics clients. The company is EURAS 9001 and EURAS 14001 certified, holds professional liability insurance through Zurich Insurance, and is an active member of the Verband Deutscher Schädlingsbekämpfer e.V.

WEISS makes money through a mix of one-time pest elimination jobs, recurring service contracts (especially with gastronomy, hotel, food retail, and logistics clients), pigeon defense installations, and ancillary hygiene services. Go-to-market is hybrid: enterprise field sales and recurring contracts on the B2B side, direct-to-consumer phone/email/online price-request intake on the residential side, supported by hyper-local SEO across 20+ city landing pages, active Facebook/Instagram presence, and customer review platforms (Google, eKomi, Proven Expert). Pricing is custom-quoted per job with no publicly disclosed rate cards. Leadership rests with Managing Director Achim Schimpf, and the firm operates without external funding, M&A history, or a parent company, retaining full family ownership in its fourth generation.
