ATLANTA — Full-service fire protection, life safety and service service provider Pye-Barker Fire & Safety has acquired Rockville, Md.-based security and life safety solutions company ResponseTECH, Inc., according to a joint announcement.
ResponseTECH will join Pye-Barker’s existing teams in Maryland to provide “comprehensive life safety services to a broader customer base,” the announcement says.
ResponseTECH offers security systems that provide critical communication and protect lives, including intrusion and fire alarms, access control, central station monitoring, nurse-call and mass emergency notification systems, from planning and design to ongoing testing and maintenance.
The company’s clientele ranges from commercial facilities to education to senior living, prioritizing “first-class customer service and long-lasting client relationships,” according to the joint announcement.
Why Did Pye-Barker Acquire ResponseTECH?
“One thing has always emerged as a driver for me throughout my tenure in business: company culture,” says Avner Skolnik, owner of ResponseTECH, in the joint announcement. “It’s about outstanding customer service, honest business practices, long-lasting client relationships and giving back to the community. I see those values every day in Pye-Barker, which is why I’m so energized by this partnership.”
“I often say I can tell if a company will be a good cultural fit within five minutes of our first conversation,” says Bart Proctor, CEO of Pye-Barker, in the announcement. “It was clear that ReponseTECH’s team shares our passion for customer relationships, and that together, we can deliver world-class service to our Maryland communities.”
ResponseTECH’s technicians will continue to serve customers in Maryland.
Nelson Mullins Riley & Scarborough, LLP represented Pye-Barker in the transaction.
