Sonitrol of SW Ohio Acquires Sonitrol of Butler County Ohio
Sonitrol of SW Ohio has acquired Sonitrol of Butler County and its non-Sonitrol company Southwestern Ohio Security. The acquisition officially closed July 6. The firm, which operates an independent franchise of Sonitrol, has served the Greater Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky areas since 1971. The expansion is reflective of both its ongoing commitment to local and surrounding communities as well as a market need in both the residential and commercial security sectors. Strategically, the acquisition affords consolidation, uniform local monitoring from a proven central station and additional market penetration in Southwest Ohio and Northern Kentucky.
“We’re excited about the opportunity to do what we do best for even more people and businesses across Southwest Ohio and Central Ohio,” said Chip Shiver, president of Shiver Security Systems and Sonitrol of SW Ohio. “Our technology, our local monitoring station and our ever-important partnership with local police are the key factors in our continued growth. It’s always about people and we believe we have the very best talent in the region when it comes to professional security. Combining two organizations with a very similar footprint in relatively the same market makes this acquisition very exciting for us. Simply put, we are merging two longtime Sonitrol families, which creates additional market penetration for the organization.”
