Pye-Barker Fire & Safety, a fully integrated fire protection, life safety and security services provider, acquired IT&M Division, a fire sprinkler services company in Helena, Mont., for undisclosed terms.
The acquisition enables Pye-Barker, which has long served Montana through its fire alarm and security division, to now offer sprinkler testing, maintenance and installation to the area’s commercial clients.
IT&M Division provides fire suppression and sprinkler system testing, maintenance and installation for commercial and multi-family residential properties. IT&M services all types of fire sprinkler systems, backflow preventers, standpipes and hydrants, with an emphasis on code compliance and preventative maintenance to keep businesses, employees and customers protected.
“IT&M has always stood for quality work and a strong commitment to excellent customer service, and I know Pye-Barker holds these same values," said Kevin Briceno, president of IT&M Division. "As a family-operated business, we're proud to take this next step to be part of Pye-Barker."
IT&M will continue to be operated by its highly skilled and trained team of technicians.
“We are excited to partner with IT&M. This acquisition was a strategic opportunity for Pye-Barker to enhance our service delivery to now provide fully integrated life safety services to Montana and surrounding markets,” said Bart Proctor, CEO of Pye-Barker. “We're honored to continue the legacy of IT&M and the Briceno family.”
Pye-Barker Fire & Safety also recently acquired Bevan Security Systems, a provider of comprehensive security and alarm services for commercial and residential customers in New Jersey.
