Security 101, a national provider of integrated security solutions, has acquired Ford Industries Inc., its Salt Lake City, Utah-based franchise operation, further expanding the company’s footprint in the western United States and reinforcing its long-term growth strategy.

The acquisition adds an experienced team with deep project capabilities, a solid cultural fit and valuable federal government customer relationships to the broader Security 101 organization.

“Expanding in Salt Lake City is a meaningful next step in our westward growth strategy,” said Greg Daly, CEO, Security 101. “Ford Industries has built a highly capable team with a strong reputation for technical execution, attention to detail and customer commitment. Just as important, they are an excellent cultural fit for our organization. We continue to believe that bringing strong franchise partners into the corporate organization is a powerful expression of confidence in where we are headed as a company. It reflects the strength of the broader platform we are building and our continued commitment to growing with people who believe in the mission, the model and the future of Security 101.”

Ford Industries brings to Security 101 a skilled team with a proven track record of executing complex, mission-critical projects, along with an established customer base that includes federal government and other high-security environments. This addition enhances Security 101’s technical depth and capabilities across advanced system design, integration and long-term service.

The acquisition strengthens Security 101’s strategic position in the Mountain West region, expands its ability to support national customers and positions the company to capitalize on growing demand driven by commercial expansion, infrastructure investment and evolving security requirements.

“As a franchisee, we’ve grown with the strength, credibility and support of the Security 101 brand, and this transition is a natural next step for our team,” said Nancy Ford, founder and co-owner, Ford Industries, Inc. “We are incredibly proud of what we’ve built and deeply grateful to the employees, partners and customers who have been part of that journey. Joining the corporate organization allows us to continue doing what we love while becoming part of something bigger. We’re excited for what’s ahead and confident this next chapter will deliver even greater value for our team and the customers we serve.”
