Pye-Barker Fire & Safety grew its portfolio by 20% in 2022. Its most recent acquisitions expanded its fire alarm and security division, earning it recognition as the largest industry player in the Northeast. The company said it is now evaluating acquisition opportunities and geographic expansion for 2023.

The company said that its acquisition strategy is aimed at bringing together admired brands that align with its culture and core values: Customer-bias, Trust, Respect and a Commitment to quality craftsmanship and exceptional customer service.

It is now actively seeking well-regarded business owners in fire, life safety and security who are interested in partnering to keep communities safe.

“We are fortunate to have the backing of investors who reinforce our commitment to team member training and geographic growth,” said Bart Proctor, CEO of Pye-Barker. “We want to help today’s fire and safety business owners take the next steps in their careers to provide for their families, customers and employees. We’re honored to have been chosen by more than 100 businesses to join the Pye-Barker family and continue growing what they’ve built.”

“From the beginning, Pye-Barker gets it. They carry the same values and it’s been good for business, for my family and for our next step,” said Chris Jensen, who was Vice President at Nardini Fire Equipment before its acquisition by Pye-Barker and now serves as Pye-Barker’s Regional Director.
