American Alarm and Communications has recently completed the acquisition of Monitor Controls, Inc. of Wallingford, Connecticut, a security systems provider serving 1,800 customers, both residential and commercial.

This acquisition establishes American Alarmโ€™s first branch in Connecticut, growing its footprint as New Englandโ€™s Trusted Security Company, serving homeowners and businesses of all sizes and industry sectors.

โ€œWe look forward to building upon the strong foundation the Yusza family and their team created at Monitor Controls,โ€ said Wells Sampson, President and Co-Owner of American Alarm. โ€œWorking together, we will bring greater resources and a new generation of security services and technologies to customers across Connecticut.โ€

โ€œOur mission at Monitor Controls, Inc. has always been to do our best for our clients,โ€ John Yusza Jr., wrote in a letter to customers announcing the acquisition. โ€œAfter considerable thought, we knew the time had come to add the many resources we needed to keep serving clients at the levels they deserve. Thatโ€™s why American Alarm is the right partner for our future.โ€

Alarm system monitoring for Monitor Controls customer locations has been transferred to American Alarmโ€™s company-owned and operated UL listed and Five-Diamond Certified 24/7 Security Monitoring Center located in Arlington, Massachusetts. Tom Fales Jr., a Regional Operations Manager whoโ€™s led American Alarmโ€™s Central Massachusetts branch for several years, will now oversee day-to-day operations at Monitor Controls.

โ€œProviding the highest levels of security and life-safety systems today requires a certain scale of operations, tempered by a personal focus on every customer,โ€ said Louis Sampson, Chief Financial Officer and Co-Owner at American Alarm. โ€œAs we grow strategically in New England, we know that as family business, our mission is to protect families and businesses in the communities we serve.โ€
