The company also focuses on event and concierge security, as well as protective services. The acquisition gives PalAmerican the opportunity to expand mobile patrol services in Salt Lake City and bolster its presence in the agriculture and manufacturing sector. 

“With a 55+ year reputation for excellence and customer service, we are excited to integrate the talented team from Peak Security and their highly regarded security solutions into our operations,” York said.ā€Æ “We believe this acquisition will create tremendous opportunities for growth and innovation, and we are confident that it will benefit all the stakeholders.”
