BearCom, a North American integrator of voice, security, and data solutions, has acquired Stone Security, a provider of enterprise class physical security products and services. Terms of the transaction were not disclosed.

According to the announcement, the addition of Stone Security’s physical security expertise to BearCom’s existing security solutions portfolio the company’s position as an end-to-end integrator of advanced voice, security and data solutions.

Founded in 2005, Stone Security is a global security integrator with 12 offices across the United States, Mexico and Brazil. Stone Security designs and delivers comprehensive security systems that enhance the safety and efficiency of its expansive customer base.

“Stone Security has been a leader in security integration for almost two decades and I am thrilled to welcome them to the BearCom family,” said Les Fry, CEO, BearCom. “Their tremendous growth is a direct result of their ability to design and deliver highly technical security solutions, combined with high integrity, and a dedication to their customers and employees.
