BOCA RATON, Fla. — ADT has acquired Gaston Security of Emporia, Va., for undisclosed terms.

Gaston Security was founded in 1994 as a video surveillance integration company and has since expanded its services to include intrusion, access control and perimeter protection.

“We continue to make strategic acquisitions in the commercial security integration space to enhance and grow our integrated solutions division,” says Dan Bresingham, chief administrative officer, ADT. “This purchase, along with our recently announced acquisitions of MSE Corporate Security and Protec, strengthen our ability to better support our Commercial and National Account Customers.”

Gaston Security primarily serves the financial, commercial, industrial, educational and government sectors across the Mid-Atlantic and Southeast region of the United States.
