GARDINER announced the acquisition of Continental Fire & Security, Inc. (CFS), an Independence, Ohio-based provider of fire and life-safety and security systems.
Founded in 1987, CFS specializes in clean-agent fire suppression, fire alarm and mass notification systems, access control, and video surveillance as well as nurse call and intercom communication systems. GARDINER cites a mutual commitment to clients and a great cultural fit between the two companies as keys to the deal. Current owners Jim Kousagan and Ray Webb will be staying on to continue leading the CFS business.
