Fumico

What Fumico does

Fumico is a Netherlands-based specialized pest management company providing fumigation, heat treatment, low-pressure CO2, and QPS (Quarantine Pre-Shipment) services to the food industry, logistics operators, and port terminals. Founded in 2010 and headquartered in Rotterdam, the company operates dedicated treatment terminals in Rotterdam (the Fumico Fumigation Terminal Rotterdam and the Heat Treatment Terminal Rotterdam, capable of handling more than 30 containers per treatment), Amsterdam, and Born, with mobile specialist teams deploying across the Benelux and Germany. Since 2022 it has operated as part of Intreso Group under Czech parent Draslovka Holdings a.s., a cyanide-based specialty chemicals company.

The company deploys four core service modalities: gas-based fumigation using sulfurylfluoride (for wood packaging and wood-destroying insects) and phosphine from magnesium phosphide plates (for grains, seeds, spices, and animal feed); heat treatment compliant with ISPM 15 phytosanitary standards and BMSB (Brown Marmorated Stink Bug) treatment at temperatures up to 65°C for exports to Australia and New Zealand; low-pressure carbon dioxide atmosphere treatment for rodent control in warehouses, silos, and containers; and QPS treatment for wood packaging under SMHV registration NL248. Fumico is ISO 9001:2015 certified and holds all relevant Dutch regulatory authorizations, including staff certifications for rodent control.

Fumico generates revenue through professional service contracts on a per-project basis, with pricing dependent on treatment type, volume, and site requirements (not publicly disclosed). Its customer base spans food producers and processors (cocoa, coffee, grain, tobacco, spices, animal feed), port terminals, shipping lines, freight forwarders, warehouses, and exporters requiring phytosanitary compliance. The company has secured three-year strategic partnerships with major commodity logistics operators C. Steinweg Group (cocoa and bulk cargo) and CWT (commodity storage), both effective January 2024.
