Pye-Barker Fire & Safety, the fully integrated and full-service fire protection, life safety and security services provider based in the United States has announced it has placed #4 on the 2025 SDM 100 rankings, rising four spots from 2024.

The SDM 100 Report ranks U.S. companies that earn revenue from the sale, installation, service and monitoring of electronic security systems.

Pye-Barker’s substantial revenue growth is, in part, a result of the 57 companies it acquired in 2024. With over 250 locations, Pye-Barker now spans 46 states — fortifying security, fire and life safety services throughout the country and strengthening its impact.

Strategically acquiring life safety businesses that align with the company culturally has been key to Pye-Barker’s success.
