Pye-Barker Fire & Safety – the largest fully integrated and full-service fire protection, life safety and security services provider in the United States – has acquired Seacoast Security, a Northeast leader in security systems, fire alarms and video surveillance with eight locations in Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont. These new Pye-Barker branches will be the company’s first in these three states, marking important milestones for Pye-Barker’s growth throughout the Northeast and the broader U.S. By partnering with values-aligned organizations like Seacoast, Pye-Barker is now in nearly every continental state.
Since 1976, under the oversight of H. David Haynes, Seacoast Security has built a strong reputation for excellence in the industry, specializing in integrated security systems, fire detection and alarms, CCTV and access control. Today’s owners, Stephen and Scott Haynes, both started as technicians and continue to uphold their father’s commitment to prioritizing relationships with customers, team members and communities.
“The decision to join Pye-Barker came after thoughtful consideration for all those we serve and the legacy of Seacoast Security,” said Seacoast Co-owner Scott Haynes. “We’re grateful to our loyal customers, 94 dedicated employees and trusted partners who have supported us throughout this journey, and we believe all will benefit from continued success and innovation under Pye-Barker’s leadership.”
“This new partnership will enhance the company’s growth and bolster our ability to continue offering high-quality security products and services,” added Co-owner Stephen Haynes. “We are confident that Pye-Barker shares our values and will continue to build on the strong foundation we have established.”
“Pye-Barker is committed to honoring the legacies of the owners and families who choose to join us,” said Pye-Barker CEO Bart Proctor. “Together, we are stronger in our shared goals to serve our communities with pride, provide for our teams and protect our communities.”
Seacoast’s highly qualified team will continue to serve customers in New England, while customers can expect the same level of service they trust, backed by Pye-Barker’s support and resources.
In the transaction, Barry Epstein of Vertex Capital represented Seacoast, and Nelson Mullins Riley & Scarborough LLP represented Pye-Barker.
