Security ONE Takes Majority Equity Stake in Alarm Systems

By SDM Editors
Security ONE Alarm Systems
January 27, 2023

Security ONE Alarm Systems, based in Leamington, Ontario, Canada, announced a majority equity investment in Alarm Systems, headquartered in Belleville, Ontario. 

The investment will allow Alarm Systems to continue to grow and expand its services to customers throughout the Eastern Ontario area, while also providing the resources and support needed to further innovate and enhance its product offerings. 

In turn, both entities will benefit from combined purchasing power and shared resources to manage larger projects across Ontario and beyond. The combined organization will be comprised of nearly 120 security professionals who serve over 20,000 residential and commercial customers, making it one of the largest independently owned and operated security providers in Canada, according to the announcement. 

“We are thrilled to partner with Alarm Systems and make this strategic investment,” said Chris Neumann, president and CEO of Security ONE Alarm Systems. “Their team has a long history of providing high-quality security solutions to customers, and we believe this partnership will allow us to better serve the Ontario market and continue to grow our business.” 

Alarm Systems has been locally owned and operated since 1972. As a leading provider of monitored security solutions in Eastern Ontario, the company provides customized intrusion alarms, security cameras, access control and ULC fire and intrusion monitoring. 

“We are excited to welcome Security ONE Alarm Systems as a majority equity partner,” said Kristin Crowe, president of Alarm Systems. “Their expertise and resources will be a valuable asset as we look to continue to grow and innovate in an ever-changing competitive landscape.” 

Founded in 1978, Security ONE Alarm Systems is one of the largest and fastest growing independently owned security companies in Canada. With four offices across Southwestern Ontario, the company services thousands of residential and commercial customers across multiple industries. With a team of over 60 security professionals, the company designs, installs and monitors the latest electronic security, fire and life safety and medical alert systems. 

The terms of the investment were not disclosed.
