CINCINNATI, Ohio -- Scherzinger Pest Control announced that Hank Althaus has retired after 43 years with the Cincinnati-based firm. He officially retired on March 1.
Althaus is a true success story, starting as a warehouse helper for Scherzinger 43 years ago, and retiring as president, a position he has held for five years (as well as everything in-between). He has been instrumental in helping the company grow to rank 67th on the most recent PCT Top 100 list. Althaus also has helped the 4th generation transition through the company to their current roles.
Kurt Scherzinger was named president upon Althaus’ retirement. Althaus leaves the company with many accomplishments and the company in a great position with the next generation ready to lead.
