Minuteman expands New York presence, acquires Life Safety Integrated Systems

ANDOVER, Mass.—Security and life safety integrator Minuteman Security & Life Safety has announced the acquisition of Life Safety Integrated Systems (LSIS), a systems integrator based in Buffalo, N.Y.

This strategic acquisition of LSIS expands Minuteman’s geographic footprint across New York State, strengthening the company’s ability to serve both existing and new customers with local expertise and faster response times.

“Bringing LSIS into the Minuteman family allows us to better support our customers across New York State with the same level of partnership, innovation, and reliability they’ve come to expect,” said Ron Oetjen, president of Minuteman Security & Life Safety. “It’s not only about expanding our reach, it’s about investing in the incredible talent LSIS has built and aligning our combined strengths to deliver even greater value to our customers.”

In business for over two decades, LSIS has earned a strong reputation for high-quality service, technical expertise, and long-term client relationships across multiple industries. The integration of LSIS into Minuteman strengthens the company’s ability to provide end-to-end solutions in security, fire, and life safety systems, ranging from design and installation to service and support.

“Joining Minuteman opens a new chapter for LSIS, one where our team gains the resources, scale, and support to continue doing what we do best: delivering exceptional service and innovative solutions,” noted Jeremy McAfee, president of LSIS. “We’re excited to be part of a company that shares our commitment to people, customers, and community.”

With the addition of LSIS, Minuteman strengthens its strategic footprint across the Northeast and expands its growing national presence, now reaching into Texas and beyond. This continued expansion, driven by a series of acquisitions, has fueled more than 300% growth over the past two years. The company remains true to its mission - to protect people, property, and peace of mind.
