October 17, 2025

Minuteman Security & Life Safety, the 2025 SDM Systems Integrator of the Year, formed a strategic partnership with Turnkey Security, an Austin-based systems integrator known for its technical expertise, customer dedication, and long-standing relationships across government, education, and enterprise sectors. As part of this collaboration, Turnkey Security will become a thoughtfully integrated core component of Minuteman’s expanded service offerings, enhancing its technical capabilities and customer solutions while also broadening Minuteman’s footprint and reach.

The partnership marks Minuteman’s official expansion into the Texas market, bringing together Turnkey’s 27 years of local credibility with Minuteman’s national scale, resources, and innovation.

“This is more than an expansion, it’s an alignment of shared values and vision,” said Ron Oetjen, president, Minuteman Security & Life Safety. “Richard Martinez and the Turnkey team have built a brand defined by trust, responsiveness, and excellence. By joining forces, we’re combining Turnkey’s proven customer relationships and Texas expertise with Minuteman’s full-service capabilities, advanced technology partnerships, and nationwide reach. Together, we’ll serve Texas clients faster, smarter, and with even greater impact.”

Turnkey brings specialized capabilities spanning engineering, design-build, project management, and complex security integrations from new construction to modernization of existing facilities.

“Minuteman’s growth and commitment to innovation mirror what we’ve always stood for, which is customer-first service and technical excellence,” said Richard Martinez, founder, Turnkey Security. “This partnership means our customers across Texas will now have access to expanded resources, deeper service coverage, and the strength of a national integrator that truly values people and performance.”

Together, Minuteman and Turnkey will support customers in creating safer, more connected environments across Texas and the southwest, delivering integrated solutions in access control, video surveillance, cybersecurity, life safety, and managed services.
