RapidFire Safety & Security Acquires Pro-Alarm
RapidFire Safety & Security acquired Pro-Alarm, expanding RapidFire’s Southern Illinois and Greater St. Louis footprint.
Based in Marine, Ill., Pro-Alarm is a full-service alarm company with over four decades of industry experience. The company specializes in the installation, service and monitoring of security alarms, fire alarms, video surveillance and access control solutions for commercial and government customers. Pro-Alarm is licensed in the State of Illinois and holds St. Louis County Communications Contractor and Alarm Licenses.
Pro-Alarm will continue to operate with its existing team, now backed by RapidFire’s expanded resources, systems and infrastructure. The acquisition supports RapidFire’s ongoing strategy of partnering with established, customer-focused providers in key markets to expand its capabilities and deliver a high-quality, consistent customer experience across its growing footprint.
“We are pleased to welcome Pro-Alarm, its employees, and its customers to RapidFire,” said Brian Modglin, chief operating officer, RapidFire Safety & Security. “Don and Terri have built a respected business defined by strong customer relationships, technical expertise and a long-standing commitment to service. This partnership strengthens our position in the greater St. Louis market and expands our ability to serve customers across Illinois and Missouri with additional resources and capabilities.”
Bob Ricucci, chief revenue officer, RapidFire Safety & Security, added, “The addition of Pro-Alarm reflects our continued focus on expanding and strengthening our service offerings in key markets. Their experienced team and established customer base further enhance our ability to deliver value to clients across the region.”
Don Satterlee, owner, Pro-Alarm, said, “When thinking about the future for our employees and customers, my number one goal was a continuation of the high-quality sales, service and momentum. We did not want to just let the company we built over the last 42 years servicing our family, friends and neighbors go to a recurring monthly revenue only buyer. The fit with RapidFire Safety & Security made sense looking to the future for our clients and employees. The continuation will be there along with the added benefit of a larger company and upward momentum for our employees, plus access to more industry products for our clients was also appealing. I see possibilities in the future of a larger footprint as we continue to put our promise of quality sales and service first.”
Buchanan, Ingersoll & Rooney served as legal counsel for the transaction.
