Pye-Barker Fire & Safety Accelerates Expansion With 22 Acquisitions

The company’s rapid growth trajectory shows no signs of slowing, fueled by a strategy that has absorbed over 100 businesses in the last two years alone. Beyond its climb on the SDM 100, Pye-Barker has advanced to seventh place among the largest North American systems integrators. This expansion effort is largely aimed at business owners seeking stable exit strategies, providing them with a national platform while maintaining local service delivery.

Marking its 80th anniversary, the organization now commands a workforce exceeding 9,000 employees across 47 states. Recent additions to the portfolio include TSI Security in Maryland, Cascade Fire & Security in Washington, and EHS Emert Electric in Ohio, among others. CEO Bart Proctor attributes this performance to the company’s ability to pair local expertise with broad corporate resources. Pye-Barker currently operates more than 250 locations, continuing to prioritize the integration of specialized regional teams into its unified national network.
