Company Profile…Aldef Global: Revolutionising the pest control industry with innovation and expertise
Aldef Global, founded by Ana Francisco in 2013, has rapidly emerged as a leader in the pest control industry, combining decades of experience, industry expertise, and a deep commitment to innovation. With its roots in Ana’s early years working at Plastdiversity, a company founded by her parents, Aldef Global has grown from a small distribution operation in Poland to a multi-faceted production and packaging powerhouse serving clients across Europe and beyond.
A visionary start
Ana Francisco’s journey began as a young teenager assisting her family business, Plastdiversity, where she learned the art of client relations and business development. Early on, she was involved in everything from writing letters and faxes to attending exhibitions and seeking new clients. This hands-on experience, coupled with her university education, propelled her to drive an astounding 1200% sales growth within a few months of joining Plastdiversity full-time. Her drive and passion for the pest control industry were the foundation upon which Aldef Global was built.
Establishing Aldef Global
In 2013, Ana relocated to Poland and established Aldef Global with a focus on distribution. With only one employee in the logistics department, the company began its journey of growth. Today, Aldef Global has expanded to a 25-person team, and the company has diversified its offerings to include production, packaging services, and private-label manufacturing. The transformation from a two-person team to a fully operational business reflects the company’s commitment to growth, excellence, and innovation.
A culture of collaboration and Innovation
Aldef Global’s success is driven by a strong team culture, where employees are valued, and a positive atmosphere fosters collaboration. As Ana envisioned, the company has developed a solid and reliable team that is flexible and motivated to tackle new challenges.
