Nisus Corporation, founded in 1990 and based in Rockford, Tennessee, is a leading manufacturer of sustainable products for the pest control and wood preservation industries. The company originated from a single product, Bora-Care, developed in 1987 as a wood preservative. This innovative solution later transitioned into pest management, effectively targeting wood-destroying insects and fungi. Over the years, Nisus expanded its product line to include additional pest control solutions like Niban Granular Bait for various pests and Jecta, a diffusible boracide, further establishing its reputation in the industry.
The company has made significant strides in sustainability and environmental consciousness. Their flagship product, Bora-Care, has received numerous certifications under green building programs, allowing it to serve as an eco-friendly alternative for pest management in residential and commercial buildings. In fact, it gained approval from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development for wood pretreatment during new home construction.
Nisus has also been proactive in ensuring that essential wood preservation products remain available in the market. They played a vital role in the registration process of copper naphthenate, contributing to the environmental sustainability of the wood treatment industry. Further expanding its capabilities, Nisus increased its manufacturing plant size and added new products like Cellutreat and zinc borate, which align with eco-friendly practices. Currently, they sell more than 30 unique products across seven countries.
Under the leadership of President Lee Barrett, the company has adopted a customer-first philosophy focusing on enhanced safety, manufacturing capabilities, employee welfare, and sustainability. With a commitment to creating quality products that minimize environmental impact, Nisus Corporation continues to lead the industry in providing eco-friendly solutions for pest management and wood preservation.
