Red Hawk Fire & Security acquires Systems Sales Corporation

Red Hawk Fire & Security announced on Wednesday that it has acquired New Jersey-based Systems Sales Corporation. In a statement, Red Hawk said the purchase would strengthen the company’s existing fire and security services operations in New Jersey, Philadelphia and Delaware.

Red Hawk was formed after the acquisition by a Comvest Partners sponsored private investment fund of the U.S. fire and security operations of United Technologies Corporation (UTC) in April of 2012. Since then, Red Hawk has focused its efforts on growing their commercial client base in the government, healthcare and education markets. 

“This is a great fit for Red Hawk as we bring on a company that expands and complements the strong teams we already have in place in the region. The combined expertise, local insights and excellent customer relationships Systems Sales brings to the table will reinforce our capabilities in this important area of the country,” said Red Hawk CEO and President Michael McWilliams.

Systems Sales Corporation President, John Ventrella, views the acquisition as a win–win for all parties involved especially current employees and customers of both Red Hawk and System Sales.

“This will open the way for us to increase in scale by leveraging Red Hawk’s resources and reach as the highly trained and experienced Systems Sales employees work in tandem with Red Hawk teams to continue developing innovative solutions to best serve our combined portfolio of clients,” said Ventrella.

“We look forward to blending the strengths of both organizations as we complete this very positive step to build upon our growth and further strengthen our position as the preferred service provider in the fire, life safety, security and banking industry,” McWilliams added.

Terms of the transaction have not been disclosed.
