Fire and safety service provider Fortis Fire & Safety Inc has acquired LaMarco Systems Inc.
Fortis said the move marked its strategic entry into the Midwest market and enhanced its capabilities in mission-critical life safety technologies.
Strengthening life safety and security system capabilities
LaMarco, based in Chicago, delivers fire alarm, access control, video surveillance, and smart building systems.
Together, Fortis and LaMarco will offer an expanded suite of services spanning traditional life safety systems, advanced security platforms and emerging smart building technologies.
Gyner Ozgul, Chief Executive Officer of Fortis, said: “We are proud to welcome the LaMarco team into the Fortis family. LaMarco has built a strong technical bench and a reputation for delivering real value to their customers.
“As we grow, it’s important that companies like LaMarco continue to preserve the local culture and relationships that define their success.
“That connection to their teams and customers is what made them great, and it’s what will allow us to serve new markets with the same level of trust and accountability.”

Marat Sedenkov, Founder and President of LaMarco, said: “Choosing Fortis was a clear decision for our team because of their shared commitment to people, culture, and long-term growth.
