Pye-Barker Fire & Safety has acquired Maryland-based security company Alarm Engineering Inc. The Alarm Engineering team — servicing Maryland, Delaware and Virginia — will complement Pye-Barker’s fire protection teams in the area to better serve Mid-Atlantic communities with integrated safety and security solutions.

Alarm Engineering Inc. has offered security and alarms services in the Delmarva region since 1985. From banking institutions to secured government buildings to industrial facilities, the company tailors customized commercial solutions to protect people and property with innovative technologies.

Alarm Engineering’s systems detect intrusion, fire and unauthorized activity, backed by 24-7 monitoring and real-time alerts. The company also provides access control, video surveillance, analytics and other system integrations to reinforce security and keep customers updated with the latest technology.

“Providing safety to individuals and businesses across Maryland is a privilege we are beyond grateful for,” said Melanie Mason, co-owner, Alarm Engineering.

Ron Boltz, co-owner, Alarm Engineering, added. “We’ve never believed in cookie-cutter solutions or high-pressure sales tactics, and Pye-Barker fits exactly what we're looking for in an acquirer — a company that cares about its customers and its team, builds legacies and protects lives.”

Alarm Engineering Inc.’s technicians will continue to serve customers in Maryland, Delaware and Virginia.

“The addition of Alarm Engineering is an exciting opportunity to deepen our impact and enhance our full fire code compliance services in Maryland and the broader region,” said Bart Proctor, CEO, Pye-Barker Fire & Safety. “We are proud to work alongside the dedicated Alarm Engineering team to continue the high-quality service their customers know and expect, while learning from each other to enhance our customer support.”
