Pye-Barker Fire & Safety has acquired Hartford Sprinkler Co., Inc., a Connecticut-based fire sprinkler and life safety specialist, in a move designed to strengthen its fire protection offering across the state.
The deal adds sprinkler installation, inspection, testing and maintenance capabilities to Pye-Barker’s existing security and alarm presence in Connecticut, giving commercial and residential customers access to a broader range of fire protection and life safety services.
Founded in 1933, Hartford Sprinkler has built a reputation for code compliance expertise and service support across sprinkler systems, fire alarms, fire suppression, fire extinguishers, emergency lighting, backflow testing and fire pump testing.
Kevin Kita, president of Hartford Sprinkler, said: “Providing the best quality fire sprinkler services to our community has driven us for the last 90 years. Joining Pye-Barker allows us to provide new services to our customers and communities to expand their protection while offering our team members new avenues for career growth.”
Bart Proctor, CEO of Pye-Barker Fire & Safety, said Hartford Sprinkler’s history as a second-generation, family-owned business aligns with Pye-Barker’s values. “It’s all about caring for others and building something that lasts,” he said. “That’s why I’m so excited for Hartford Sprinkler’s experts to join our team and work together to continue the legacy they’ve built.”
Hartford Sprinkler’s technicians will continue serving customers in Connecticut following the acquisition. Nelson Mullins Riley & Scarborough, LLP represented Pye-Barker in the transaction.
