ADS Security (ADS), Nashville, Tenn., has acquired American Burglar and Fire Alarms (AB&F) in Columbia, S.C. and has added approximately 2,700 accounts to their South Carolina customer base. ADS will operate a Columbia branch in the existing AB&F office. This purchase comes shortly after the acquisition of two Alabama security companies in March and continues the company’s pursuit of growth across the Southeast.
"Growing our presence and establishing a full-service ADS branch in South Carolina is exciting for ADS," said ADS President and CEO, John Cerasuolo. "We have been slowly growing in Columbia and the purchase of AB&F, a security company with an excellent local presence, is a natural next step for us in this market."
