ATLANTA, Nov. 9, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Pye-Barker Fire & Safety is excited to announce its acquisition of ComTronix, a commercial and residential security and fire alarm monitoring company in Wyoming. With this addition, Pye-Barker expands its footprint in the state of Wyoming, strengthens its burgeoning alarm division and enhances its communication and mass notification service offerings.

ComTronix provides integrated security and life safety systems including fire and intrusion alarms, 24/7 fire and security alarm monitoring, access control, intrusion detection, CCTV, business telephone systems, overhead paging and structured cabling.

"We are proud every day to serve the communities we live in and provide life-saving security solutions for our neighbors and friends," said Kopperud.
