Pye-Barker Fire & Safety, a fully integrated and full-service fire protection, life safety and security services provider in the United States, has acquired Coastal Sprinkler, expanding its fire sprinkler capabilities and service footprint in Southern Texas. The acquisition strengthens Pye-Barker’s ability to deliver comprehensive fire protection solutions throughout the region.

“For nearly four decades, our family has built relationships throughout Southeast Texas by doing what we say we’ll do and standing by our work,” said Russell Cuniff, co-owner, Coastal Sprinkler. “Pye-Barker is the right partner for us to continue providing the high-quality service our customers expect from us.”

This partnership brings together a locally impactful business with national resources, which benefits everyone we serve.”

Coastal Sprinkler’s team of skilled technicians will continue to serve customers throughout Southeast Texas, backed by Pye-Barker’s support and resources. Nelson Mullins Riley & Scarborough represented Pye-Barker.
