ABOUT US
WALDEMAR didn't originate from a business idea, but from a practical necessity.
Recurring complaints, negative reviews, legal disputes, and the resulting burdens on employees and businesses clearly demonstrated that:
Existing approaches were insufficient!
Therefore, we developed a new, effective approach to pest control – practical, well-conceived, and sustainable.
From these insights, WALDEMAR GmbH was founded in Germany– as a logical response to a well-known but underestimated problem. Our approach combines precise localization, immediate and effective control, and regular follow-up inspections.
After almost ten years of successfully applying our newly developed strategy, we are now active throughout Europe and the Persian Gulf.

MAX PLEISTER
Director of Pest Control
Max grew up in the vicinity of Berlin and has been part of WALDEMAR from the very beginning. His career started with an apprenticeship as a hotel specialist, during which he experienced firsthand how inadequate and stressful traditional pest control is in practice – for guests, employees, and businesses alike.
This experience triggered a clear change of perspective: Max decided to train as a state-certified pest control technician – with the goal of learning how to do things better.
Today, as Director of Pest Control at WALDEMAR, he is responsible for the operational implementation of our system. With his practical approach, calm demeanor, and focus on the essentials, he ensures that every problem is solved professionally, discreetly, and permanently – and that our high standards are maintained everywhere.
