Pelican Security, Sonitrol of Lexington & Guardian Alarm Acquire Local Companies
Alarm & Security Technologies Inc., Covington, La., was acquired by The Pelican Security Network, Baton Rouge, La. Timothy Jou- bert, founder, owner and president of Alarm & Security Technolo- gies Inc. will be retiring, but his staff will remain. Joubert said about the acquisition, “Through the affiliation with The Pelican Security Network, we will be able to continue to provide a wider range of capabilities often available only through large, national companies.” Sonitrol of Lexington Inc., Lexington, Ky., acquired Safety Ser- vices Inc., Independence, Ky. The owners and employees of Safety Services Inc. will join Sonitrol of Lexington in sales and technical capacities. TAS Telephone Alarm Systems Inc. in Lansing, Mich. was acquired by Guardian Alarm, headquartered in Southfield, Mich. Guardian Alarm purchased the stock of TAS Telephone Alarm Systems. Guardian already has a foothold in Lansing so this trans- action gives the company a sizable boost to its account base. Most of the employees of TAS joined Guardian and will be helping to build brand awareness, as well as the account base. The three transactions were handled by Steve Rubin of Davis
Mergers and Acquisitions Group Inc., also known as The Gray- beards. ■
USER’S GROUP continued from page 22
Earlier in the meeting, RRUG hosted a private party for all attendees at Turning Stone’s exclusive indoor/outdoor night club, Lava. Food was served outdoors near a fountain surrounded by private cabanas where dealers gathered. Inside the nightclub there was music and two magician performers: Daniel Uzunoff, local “Magic Man,” specializing in slight of hand, and NBC’s America’s Got Talent performer, Shimshi, a resident Las Vegas Wynn Encore magician.
Numerous speakers presented their knowledge and outlook to dealers and other attendees. Perhaps the most memorable of these presenters was the keynote speaker, Eric C. Haseltine, president and managing director of Haseltine Partners LLC. Haseltine has earned degrees in economics and psychology, as well as a Ph. D. in Physiological Psychology, which he applied to his thought- provoking presentation on Tuesday night. He discussed the value of opportunities and how to envision one truly great idea for the future and make it both possible and profitable in the present. While walking the group through the process of expanding their businesses while maintaining efficiency, Haseltine astounded all with his vision of where the security industry is headed. The event was wrapped up with the Rapid Classic Golf Tourna- ment on August 4, providing attendees the opportunity to compete on the Shenandoah Golf Course, the same course the PGA Golf Tournament was played on just days later. ■
