A1 Alarm Service and FE Moran Alarm & Monitoring Services, both based in Champaign, Ill., have gotten together to “provide businesses and residents with the most comprehensive set of security and life safety solutions available,” Diane Ruedi, president of A1 Alarm Service said. A1 Alarm, acquired recently by FE Moran, has provided residential and commercial burglar and fire alarm systems, as well as its own central station, for more than forty years.

 

Ruedi said the sale made sense for several reasons. “FE Moran shares the mission, vision, and values of the heritage of A1 Alarm Service. There could be no better partner for either one of our companies, our subscribers, or our employees. We are still local, can offer a broader, deeper range of services, and FE Moran Alarm & Monitoring has a commitment to innovation, ensuring next-generation technology solutions!

 

“Especially exciting is the company is headquartered in a new, state-of-the-art facility, in Champaign,” Ruedi added.

 

FE Moran Alarm & Monitoring was recently ranked as the 57th largest alarm company in the nation and offers a range of products to meet business and residential needs, including video monitoring, radio alarm transmission, card access, biometrics, and more. It has locations in Illinois, Michigan, and Georgia and provides monitoring services for subscribers throughout the United States.

 

“One of the best parts of this transaction is gaining the extreme amount of workforce talent," said Brett Bean, president of FE Moran Alarm & Monitoring Services. "A1 Alarm has many experienced employees with a great amount of industry knowledge.”
