Anticimex continues its expansion in the United States with the acquisition of New Jersey-based Viking Pest Control.

Viking, a family business founded in 1980, is a leading provider of residential and commercial pest control in New Jersey and a number of other states in the region, including Pennsylvania, New York, Delaware, and Maryland.

The acquisition is part of Anticimex's strategy to expand in the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic regions of the United States. Including the acquisition of Viking, Anticimex has made a total of five acquisitions in New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland and Virginia in the last 12 months and continues to look for further growth opportunities in the region.

Hannes Snellman acted as counsel to Anticimex with a core team including Claes Kjellberg and Moa Fritzon Torbjelt.
