As a result of this acquisition, nearly 100 colleagues will join Convergint.

The combined knowledge and innovation from both companies will undoubtedly bring immense value to our customer base.”

James Crouch, founder of Universal Security Systems, added, “It’s an exciting time for our company, and what we’ve built in the past thirty years couldn’t have been possible without the support of our colleagues and customers. Companies today are not only looking for innovative solutions but consistency in the way services are delivered, something Universal and Convergint strongly align on. We couldn’t be more excited to be joining Convergint, a person-first company with a big vision toward the future.”
