Pye-Barker Fire & Safety has acquired E.D.S., Inc., dba CARE Security & Monitoring, headquartered in Louisville, Kentucky.
This transaction aims to allow Pye-Barker to grow its services in the state with the help of CARE’s local teams and expertise.
CARE Security & Monitoring has been on a mission to provide the highest quality security systems and customer service for over 30 years.
Founded in 1993 by Dave and Ellen Smith, CARE is now owned and operated by Chris Harr and Jerry Codey, two retired police officers who took over the business in 2012.
CARE designs, installs and services security systems backed by 24/7 local station monitoring.
The company offers intrusion and fire alarms, access control, biometric systems, video surveillance systems and fire extinguisher services to help protect people and property.
Chris Harr, Co-owner of CARE Security & Monitoring commented: “We want to help our customers feel the empowerment of knowing their businesses are secure.
“We take comfort in seeing that Pye-Barker shares the same commitment to creating peace of mind for the communities they serve.
“With Pye-Barker’s national resources, we can serve more customers and provide new opportunities for our team.”
Bart Proctor, CEO of Pye-Barker echoed Harr’s enthusiasm, stating: “Company culture stands out during the acquisition process, and it was no different with CARE Security & Monitoring.
“The team has a genuine passion for this work, and joining forces will allow us to ultimately better serve Kentuckians together.”
