“This partnership with Iowa Fire brings us into new markets across the Midwest, furthering our mission to become the nation’s preferred fire protection, life safety and security provider,” said Bart Proctor, CEO at Pye-Barker. “Through our purposeful, value-based acquisition strategy, we’re partnering with like-minded businesses that reinforce our commitment to our customers and our teams.”

The acquisition is the fifth M&A deal Pye-Barker has closed in 2023. In June the company acquired Bamford, Inc., a full-service fire sprinkler company based in Kearney, Nebraska.
