Pye-Barker Fire & Safety Announces ResponseTECH Acquisition in Maryland

Pye-Barker Fire & Safety, the largest fully integrated fire protection, life safety, and security services provider in the United States, has acquired ResponseTECH, Inc., a security and life safety solutions company based in Rockville, Maryland. Following the acquisition, ResponseTECH will merge with Pye-Barker's existing teams in Maryland to enhance life safety services for a broader customer base.

ResponseTECH specializes in security systems that facilitate critical communication and protect lives, offering services that include intrusion and fire alarms, access control, central station monitoring, nurse-call, and mass emergency notification systems. Their clientele spans various sectors, including commercial facilities, education, and senior living, with a focus on exceptional customer service and long-lasting client relationships.

Avner Skolnik, owner of ResponseTECH, expressed enthusiasm about the acquisition, stating, "Company culture has always been a driver for me throughout my tenure in business. It's about outstanding customer service, honest business practices, long-lasting client relationships, and giving back to the community. I see those values every day in Pye-Barker, which is why I'm so energized by this partnership."

Bart Proctor also commented on the cultural fit, saying, "I often say I can tell if a company will be a good cultural fit within five minutes of our first conversation. It was clear that ResponseTECH's team shares our passion for customer relationships, and that together, we can deliver world-class service to our Maryland communities."

ResponseTECH's skilled technicians will continue to serve customers in Maryland, with legal representation for Pye-Barker provided by Nelson Mullins Riley & Scarborough, LLP.
