(Davenport, Iowa, February 2, 2006) – Effective February 1, 2006, Per Mar Security Services acquired the accounts and assets of Associated Security, Inc. in Madison, Wisconsin. Prior to the sale, James Sullivan and Dennis Schultz owned and operated Associated for more than 20 years. Associated has been serving the needs of approximately 800 customers in the greater Madison area with a team of 20 experienced fire and security alarm professionals, all of whom will become Per Mar employees.
Per Mar will now serve those customers through both its current electronic security branch office in Madison and a newly established office in Madison for its wholly-owned subsidiary, Midwest Alarm Services. Midwest provides engineered advanced fire alarm and life safety systems and services. The company has operations throughout Iowa and Wisconsin and has grown to become one of the largest distributors of Notifier fire alarm systems in the world.
“The addition of this business to Per Mar’s long-established operations in the Madison market, and the establishment of a new branch for Midwest, further increases our combined company’s presence and will enable us to provide even better service to a broad range of customers, especially those seeking advanced fire and life safety systems,” said Bill Jackson, Per Mar’s President.
