Contech History and Mission

History

Contech was founded in 1987 as a small, Canadian company dedicated to designing, manufacturing, and marketing innovative and environmentally-friendly products for the pet and garden industries. Over the years, we have grown our selection – through acquisitions and mergers with like-minded organizations - to add a range of products for forestry, agriculture and pest management markets as well.

The acquisitions of Pherotech International in 2008 and “green” pest management pioneer, Tanglefoot in 2009, have helped to solidify our commitment to providing unique and convenient products to the growing non-toxic pest management market.

While still headquartered in Victoria, British Columbia (BC), our growing company oversees an amazing science and innovation team at its Vancouver, BC location and a world-class operations and production group at the original Tanglefoot building in Grand Rapids, MI.

Through our growth, Contech has maintained a dedication to serving the needs of our customers at all levels of our organization. Our customer service team (made up of real people) responds to phone and online enquiries in real time, our in-house marketing professionals are committed to helping grow the businesses of our retail partners, and our sales representative are the direct link to retailers and distributors.

Mission

We thrill our customers with better products to build a better world.
