LYNN, Mass. — Wayne Alarm Systems, based here, announces the acquisition of North Shore Protection for undisclosed terms.

The purchase further increases Wayne Alarm’s footprint in the greater Boston area as the company continues to grow and expand.

Because of the customer service and employee care provided by Wayne Alarm, Colangelo, president of North Shore Protection, states that they would not entrust their customers to any other security company.

“It takes a great team to navigate the technological and customer demands of today and we are fortunate to have a great team at Wayne Alarm Systems,” adds Sevinor. “Our goal is to be the best provider of life safety systems solutions by exceeding expectations in our Massachusetts service area.”

Due diligence for the acquisition was provided by TRG Associates; accounting services by Dennis Raimo; financing was supported by Eastern Bank; and legal services by Finneran & Nicholson.
