NASHVILLE, Tenn. – ADS Security, a regional electronic security and automation company, based here, has acquired the assets of Falcon Fire Systems in the Charleston, S.C., market. ADS will retain the Falcon Fire Systems office, establishing the company’s third location in South Carolina and its 22nd branch location overall.

“We are thrilled to continue our growth in the Carolinas,” says John Cerasuolo, ADS president and CEO. “I’m especially excited to welcome a team with the capabilities and market presence that Falcon Fire Systems brings. This acquisition not only is a great geographic fit, but with the expertise of engineered fire systems it continues our push into the broader commercial integration market.”
