CertaSite, a commercial fire protection and life safety company, has expanded its footprint west of the Mississippi River with the acquisition of Weber Fire and Safety. 

Weber Fire and Safety, a fire protection business that serves the greater St. Louis area, marks CertaSite’s 27th overall M&A transaction and the first in Missouri.

“We are grateful to (Owner) Mark Weber for his continued partnership throughout this process,” said Jeff Wyatt, CEO of CertaSite. “We are committed to preserving the legacy that these dedicated professionals built, and we recognize and respect their strong local presence. We are thrilled to be expanding our unique brand of customer service in Missouri and look forward to serving this market.”

A family-owned business, Weber Fire and Safety has been providing the community fire protection services for fire extinguishers, kitchen systems and emergency and exit lights since 1958. Their solid reputation in the region will allow the company to grow its customer base and expand into new markets under the CertaSite umbrella, according to an announcement.

“CertaSite is a company that I trust because they share our values and code of ethics for saving lives and protecting property,” Weber said. “With CertaSite, we have a unique opportunity to blend our knowledge base with a technology-based platform that offers new product lines, is professional and rooted in best practices, and provides significant value for our customers and employees.”  

CertaSite is headquartered in Indianapolis, with locations throughout the Midwest including Illinois, Iowa, Kentucky, Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin.
