"We trust Pye-Barker to honor Absolute's legacy as we take this next step."
Absolute Fire Protection, Inc., provides end-to-end fire sprinkler services, fire alarm installation and 24/7 alarm monitoring. It was founded in 1989 by Larry Cate and Dan Mathias who met as Maryland high school freshmen and dreamed of starting their own business. While they were still in college – Cate at Towson University and Mathias at University of Maryland – Absolute Fire Protection was born.
"From a single sprinkler job when we were 22 years old to a thriving business with more than 100 team members, we're proud of what we've built at Absolute Fire," said Cate, Co-Founder. "We trust Pye-Barker to honor Absolute's legacy as we take this next step."
Cate and Mathias proudly promote the industry to youth with investment in their community college's skilled trade development center and the creation of an advanced training facility for Absolute's apprenticeship program.
