RapidFire Safety & Security has acquired Progressive Protection Security Systems, a strategic move that bolsters the company's footprint in the Texas security market. The acquisition represents RapidFire's fourth expansion in Texas and signals a continued commitment to growth in the commercial security and fire safety sector.
Founded in 1997 by Eddie Notgrass, Progressive Protection has established itself as a trusted security integrator specializing in commercial security, fire protection, access control, and low voltage solutions. What began as a home garage operation has evolved into a respected provider serving thousands of businesses across Texas.
The acquisition brings together two companies with shared values of customer-centric service and technological innovation. According to Brian Modglin, RapidFire's Chief Operating Officer, the partnership will enable the company to deliver enhanced security solutions and greater value to customers in the rapidly expanding Texas market.
For Progressive Protection, the merger offers an opportunity to leverage RapidFire's broader resources and network. Founder Eddie Notgrass expressed enthusiasm about joining RapidFire, highlighting the alignment of their commitment to customer service and employee development.
This strategic acquisition is part of RapidFire's multi-regional growth strategy, supported by Concentric Equity Partners. By integrating Progressive Protection's local expertise with RapidFire's comprehensive safety and security platform, the company aims to strengthen its market position and provide more comprehensive protection solutions.
The transaction underscores a broader trend of consolidation in the security services industry, where companies are seeking to expand geographical reach and service capabilities through strategic acquisitions. For businesses in Central Texas, this merger promises continued high-quality service with potentially expanded technological capabilities and support.
