Batzner Garners Awards and Places in “Top 100” Pest Control Companies in Nation and “Top Ten”
Small Businesses in Waukesha County
(July 8, 2009, New Berlin—) If Wheaties
can call itself “The Breakfast of Champions”, then
Batzner Pest Management, New Berlin, can call
itself “The Pest Management Company of
Champions”.
That’s so because the company has
recently earned several prestigious national and
local recognitions.
*
For the seventh year in a row, Batzner
was named one of the “Top 100” pest control
companies in the USA by Pest Control Technology
magazine. Batzner achieved that distinction by
generating revenues of almost $7 million in 2008.
To date, revenues for 2009 have grown by
approximately six percent.
* The Batzner organization placed in the
“Top Ten” small businesses of Waukesha
County for the first time. The Waukesha County
Chamber, BizTimes Milwaukee– a local business
magazine, and an independent panel of judges
evaluated businesses in the county named the
Batzner as one of the best companies in Waukesha
County. Their criteria included customer focus,
financial growth, employee growth and relations,
and community involvement.
* Batzner was recently honored with the
International IPM (Integrated Pest
Management) Award by the IPM Institute of North
America.
The award recognizes Batzner’s efforts
to reduce potential risks to human health and our
environment.
* Last year Batzner earned a “Quality Pro”
designation by the National Pest Management
Association.
As a QualityPro-approved company, Batzner Pest is among pest management companies around the country that took steps to ensure a higher level of business conduct and customer service.
The designation, like the Good Housekeeping Seal of Approval, offers consumers solid proof of the thoroughness and quality of a pest control company’s business practices.
* And last year, it was named as one of the
“Best Places to Work in Southeastern Wisconsin.”
Jerry Batzner, company president, is both
“gratified and enthused” that his employees have
worked hard to help the company achieve its
“championship” status. “We appreciate the
recognition we receive because it lets us know we
are doing our job,” he says.
The 62-year-old company, which employs
approximately 75 people, specializes in the
Balanced As Nature—B.A.N. System™, an
integrated pest management service. With service
centers in New Berlin, Oshkosh, Fond du Lac,
Racine and Madison, the Batzner organization’s
size has grown seven-fold since 1990.
Approximately 70 percent of Batzner’s business is commercial and the balance residential. In addition to general pest control services, they offer bird and nuisance wildlife control, as well as add-on services, such as bioremediation (drain cleaning) and building repairs.
“We focus on retaining our existing customers and steadily growing each service center by offering quality service delivered consistently,” says Batzner. “And we focus on hiring quality employees and providing them the support they need to perform quality service.”
