ATLANTA, July 17,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- 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 Allstar Fire
Protection, a complete fire protection company, servicing a wide
swath of the Southeast, including Tennessee, Kentucky, Florida, North
Carolina, South Carolina,
Georgia and Alabama. The addition of Allstar's local teams
will complement Pye-Barker's established presence in the region
while providing opportunities for continued growth.
"We looked for a partner who would uphold
the high standards we've set for our team. Pye-Barker is the right
choice."
Allstar Fire Protection was founded by Glenn Harris and Mark
Hillis in 1990 to protect the Nashville, Tennessee, community through
mission-driven fire sprinkler services. Later Allstar added
brick-and-mortar locations in Bowling
Green, Kentucky; Knoxville,
Tennessee; and Chattanooga,
Tennessee.
As Harris and Hillis entered retirement, day-to-day
operations were entrusted to Casey
Milhorn, current CEO and Co-Owner. Maintaining values of
integrity and community throughout their growth, Allstar now offers
full-service fire protection including fire sprinkler and
suppression systems, fire alarms, fire extinguishers, kitchen hood
systems, and emergency and exit lighting.
"Allstar Fire Protection has become a stalwart in our
communities by remaining true to our core values, providing quality
service and giving back to local organizations," said Casey Milhorn, CEO and Co-Owner at Allstar.
"When evaluating our next step, we looked for a partner who would
uphold the high standards we've set for our team and would allow
our team to continue to strive to meet Allstar's vision statement:
'A safe place to live and work for everyone.' Pye-Barker is the
right choice to continue the Allstar legacy."
"Allstar's leadership has found the elusive balance between
rapid growth and staying true to its roots, caring for team and
community," said Bart Proctor, CEO
at Pye-Barker. "Getting to know the team has been an absolute
pleasure, and we're looking forward to the impact we'll make
together to protect lives and livelihoods."
Allstar's highly skilled team will continue to serve customers
in the Southeast.
