Stanley Convergent Security Solutions Inc. (Stanley CSS), Naperville, Ill., purchased Electronic Protection Network Inc. (doing business as Sonitrol of Savannah), a Sonitrol dealer since 2002, located in Savannah, Ga. The sale includes mostly commercial accounts including retail, restaurant, industrial, banking and education customers being serviced throughout Georgia. Terms of the sale were not disclosed.
Stanley CSS plans to retain the Savannah location, Felix Gonzales, vice president of strategic initiatives and business development at Stanley CSS, told SDM. "In fact that’s one of the strategic reasons for the acquisition," Gonzales said. "If you look at Georgia, CSS has maintained an Atlanta office and last year we purchased a Sonitrol branch in the north... This acquisition allows us to go ahead and have a direct channel for customers in Savannah and the surrounding area. For us it really is an expansion of our Sonitrol capabilities through a direct channel, allowing us to continue to mainstream our Sonitrol offering."
