WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. — Integrated security solutions provider Security 101 has acquired Springfield, Va.-based LVSI Corporation, a systems integration firm specializing in electronic security, information technology, wireless communications and audiovisual systems, according to a joint announcement.
The acquisition “expands Security 101’s presence in the Mid-Atlantic region and adds technical disciplines that are increasingly important to how customers design, deploy and maintain their security programs,” the announcement says.
LVSI provides full-lifecycle systems integration from engineering and procurement through installation, commissioning, operations and maintenance. Its teams work across physical and electronic security, IT infrastructure and cybersecurity, tactical systems, wireless communications and professional AV systems.
The company “has extensive experience supporting federal and other mission-critical environments, as well as commercial and institutional facilities,” according to the joint announcement.
Why Did Security 101 Acquire LVSI Corporation?
“LVSI brings a depth of technical expertise that complements our core business and strengthens our ability to support customers across increasingly connected environments,” says Greg Daly, CEO of Security 101, in the joint announcement.
“Their experience supporting federal and mission-critical operations, combined with their capabilities across security, IT and communications infrastructure, makes them a strong addition to our growing organization,” he says.
“We’ve always believed that successful systems integration starts with technical expertise, integrity and doing right by our customers,” says Bryan Thomas, president of LVSI Corporation, in the joint announcement. “Joining Security 101 gives our team the opportunity to build on that foundation with the resources and reach of a national organization.
“We’re excited about what this means for our employees, our customers, and the future of the business,” he says.
Thomas will remain with the company as general manager, providing leadership continuity and overseeing LVSI’s operations as part of Security 101.
The acquisition follows Security 101’s acquisition of Silverstrand Technologies earlier this year and “continues its strategy of joining with established regional integrators that bring specialized capabilities, experienced teams and strong customer relationships,” according to the joint announcement.
Viking Mergers & Acquisitions’ Richmond office served as the exclusive advisor to LVSI in the transaction.
