Tyro Group Acquires AntiAvem AB to Expand Nordic Pest Control

Tyro Group, a leading pest control provider backed by Norvestor, has acquired AntiAvem AB, a Swedish company known for its expertise in preventive and humane bird management. The acquisition, announced in April 2026, enhances Tyro Group’s service offerings and strengthens its presence in Sweden and the wider Nordic region.

AntiAvem AB, headquartered in Västerås, supports a diverse clientele including property owners, businesses, municipalities, and housing associations. The company specializes in addressing bird-related challenges such as contamination, property damage, and operational disruptions. Its services encompass inspection, prevention, sanitation, and ongoing maintenance, delivering sustainable and long-term solutions.

AntiAvem is recognized for combining technical expertise with modern technologies, notably laser-based deterrent systems and advanced bird proofing methods. This customer-focused approach aligns with Tyro Group’s strategy to offer innovative and environmentally responsible pest management solutions.

Tyro Group’s acquisition of AntiAvem complements its existing partnership with BeGone, further consolidating its position in the Nordic pest control market. The deal expands Tyro’s capabilities in specialized bird management, enabling cross-selling opportunities and enhancing service offerings to municipalities and housing associations.

Founded in Germany, Tyro Group has been actively expanding its footprint across Europe through acquisitions of established pest control companies. Recent additions include Fleschhut Schädlingsbekämpfung GmbH in southern Germany, Dietrich GmbH in Frankfurt, and Kohlhaas & Honecker GmbH near Cologne. These acquisitions have strengthened Tyro’s network of trusted pest management specialists, combining tradition with innovation and environmental responsibility.

Financial terms of the AntiAvem acquisition were not disclosed. However, the strategic rationale focuses on expanding Tyro Group’s geographic reach and service portfolio. The integration will leverage AntiAvem’s technical expertise and technology to standardize service protocols and enhance training programs across the group.

Industry trends indicate increasing demand for sustainable and humane pest control solutions, driven by regulatory pressures and customer preferences. Tyro Group’s expanded capabilities position it well to meet these evolving market needs and to compete effectively against other providers in the Nordic region.

Looking ahead, Tyro Group plans to integrate AntiAvem’s operations smoothly, focusing on aligning service standards and maintaining high customer satisfaction during the transition. The company also aims to capitalize on synergies such as shared procurement and optimized service delivery routes to improve operational efficiency.

Tyro Group welcomes the AntiAvem team and anticipates that the acquisition will accelerate its growth and innovation in pest control services across Sweden and the Nordic countries.
