ATLANTA — Full-service fire protection, life safety and service service provider Pye-Barker Fire & Safety has acquired The Alarm Group to “elevate comprehensive fire and life safety services in Oklahoma,” according to the joint announcement.
Combining The Alarm Group’s local expertise with Pye-Barker’s nationwide resources “allows both companies to better serve their customers,” the announcement says.
Located in Oklahoma City and Lawton, Okla., The Alarm Group (TAG) offers security systems, burglar and fire alarms, access control, video surveillance and mobile security solutions to protect commercial customers, their assets and the people they serve.
TAG’s mobile security towers offer 24-hour live security with solar battery backup, artificial intelligence-enhanced intrusion detection and audio talk-downs to “disrupt threats before they become emergencies and dispatch proper response teams,” according to the joint announcement.
Why Did Pye-Barker Acquire The Alarm Group?
TAG was formed when HESI Security and Network Alarm Services came together as one entity to “better serve Oklahoma City’s communities and offer a wider variety of services,” the announcement says. Led by co-owners Mike Nelson, Chris Weidenmann and Rick Spring, the TAG team is “motivated by providing customers an exceptional experience and bringing peace-of-mind to businesses and their people.”
“Protecting our neighbors has always been our top priority,” says Mike Nelson, co-owner of The Alarm Group, in the joint announcement. “Joining forces with Pye-Barker allows us to elevate our mission, providing the best experience possible for our customers. At the same time, our team members will have new opportunities to grow as part of the Pye-Barker team.”
“The Alarm Group has developed an impressive reputation for quality service in Oklahoma,” says Bart Proctor, CEO of Pye-Barker, in the announcement. “I’m confident the TAG team will bring unparalleled expertise to our organization. We’re excited to bring together our local Oklahoma City teams to serve this community.”
TAG’s technicians will continue to serve customers in Oklahoma.
TAG was represented by Barry Epstein, founder and president of Vertex Capital, and the Law Offices of Marc. P. Katz, LLC. Nelson Mullins Riley & Scarborough, LLP represented Pye-Barker.
