CertaSite®, a national leader in the field of fire and life safety, announced today that it has acquired Copp Systems ("Copp"), a security and fire protection company based in Dayton, Ohio. This is CertaSite's sixth acquisition in Ohio and its 24th overall.
It is the mission of CertaSite to provide the highest level of customer service, responsiveness, building safety and code compliance to customers across the Midwest. In addition to providing customers with a simplified and dependable solution for managing all of the fire protection and life safety systems in commercial buildings, the company goes beyond compliance by focusing on partnership and professionalism.
The owner of Copp Systems, Bill DeFries, says that CertaSite is the perfect partner to continue building on the legacy and foundation laid by Copp Systems' employees and customers. With CertaSite, we have a unique opportunity to merge our knowledge base with a technology-based platform that offers new product lines, is professional and rooted in best practices, and provides significant value for our customers.
A well-established security and fire protection business with more than 100 years rooted in Dayton, Copp has extensive experience in providing full-service security solutions along with fire protection services for fire alarms and monitoring to their loyal customers. With Copp's solid reputation in the region, the company will be able to expand into new markets and expand its customer base as a result.
All Copp employees have joined CertaSite as a result of the close of the acquisition. The owner of Copp, Bill DeFries, will continue to run the company in a new capacity to expand CertaSite's access control and video surveillance business to new markets across the company. As part of this product expansion, CertaSite will be able to offer its customers a new area of technology.
A world class technology management center located in Dayton, Ohio, will be the location where Copp Systems will manage the cloud-based platforms that CertaSite will deploy across the company. In the future, CertaSite will be able to optimize life safety and security programs with interactive remote support for fire alarms, integrated video and access control solutions, and customized monitoring applications.
It is with great gratitude that we express our sincere gratitude to Bill and the entire Copp Systems family for their continued support throughout this project," said Jeff Wyatt, CEO of CertaSite.. "We are committed to preserving the legacy that these dedicated professionals built as well as honoring and respecting their strong local presence in the future.". The company is looking forward to building on that foundation in the coming years by offering employees the opportunity to develop and advance their careers as well as expanding services and support to our customers.
