Following acquisition of 23 companies in 2022, Pye-Barker opens call for sellers

ATLANTA – Pye-Barker Fire & Safety has been active in its acquisitions, growing its portfolio by 20 percent in 2022, and now the company has put out the call for more sellers interested in partnering together.

Its most recent acquisition of Bevan Security Systems earlier this month has made Pye-Barker one of the largest industry players in the Northeast region of the U.S., according to the company. With a reputation for uniting respected industry names Pye-Barker has continued to focus on growth in four key areas: fire extinguishers, fire suppression, fire alarms and security.

Now the company has begun evaluating acquisition and expansion opportunities in 2023. "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."

Pye-Barker describes itself as a company, “…built on the entrepreneurial spirit of John Pye and Ben Barker, Pye-Barker is unique in the industry for supporting business owners and honoring their legacies.” Currently they’re seeking business owners that are well regarded in the fire, security, and life safety communities who are looking to partner up.

"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.

Pye-Barker is encouraging anyone who is interested in joining them to contact them at (910) 612-6252 or to visit pyebarkerfire.com/acquisitions/.
