RapidFire Safety & Security (RapidFire) has recently announced the acquisition of Troy Alarm, a Riverside, California-based provider of fire alarm and security services. This acquisition represents RapidFire's 10th since September 2022, highlighting the company's aggressive expansion strategy and its commitment to broadening its service capabilities and geographic reach.
Troy Alarm, established in 1989, has built a reputation as a full-service security integrator with a strong focus on customer service and local market relationships. The acquisition by RapidFire is expected to integrate Troy Alarm's expertise in fire and intrusion alarm systems, access control, video surveillance, UL fire alarm certifications, and central station monitoring into RapidFire's existing portfolio. This move is anticipated to not only enhance RapidFire's service offerings but also ensure a seamless transition for Troy Alarm's employees, who will continue to play a vital role in the company's operations in Southern California.
Greg Hillman, President of Troy Alarm, shared his perspective on the acquisition, noting the challenges of managing growth independently. 'We started to look around for potential buyers who wouldn't completely dissolve my business and were introduced to Mike McLeod and the RapidFire team,' Hillman said. He expressed optimism about the future, stating that RapidFire provides the resources and platform necessary for Troy Alarm to reach its full potential.
Brian Modglin, RapidFire's Chief Operating Officer, emphasized the strategic importance of the acquisition.
