Minuteman Security & Life Safety has acquired Performance Link Technologies (PLT), a North Carolina-based provider of structured cabling, security and low-voltage technology solutions.
Originally established in 2004 by John Gendron and Rich Bedner as a structured cabling company, PLT expanded into electronic security in 2009.
PLT provides structured cabling, voice and data infrastructure, video surveillance, access control, wireless networking, paging and related technology solutions.
Minuteman says the acquisition strengthens its presence throughout the Southeast while expanding its ability to deliver integrated security, life safety, structured cabling and enterprise technology solutions to customers nationwide.
“Performance Link Technologies has built an outstanding reputation by putting customers first and consistently delivering quality work,” said Ron Oetjen, Chief Executive Officer of Minuteman Security & Life Safety.
“John, Rich and their team share our commitment to partnership, integrity and operational excellence.
“What impressed us most throughout this process was the PLT team and the culture they’ve built over the past two decades.
“Their people-first mindset and commitment to excellence align perfectly with the values that define Minuteman Nation.
“We’re thrilled to welcome the PLT team to the Minuteman family, and together we are even better positioned to support our customers with expanded capabilities, greater resources and the local responsiveness they expect.”
“We’ve always believed that long-term success comes from building strong partnerships with our customers, our employees and our vendors,” said John Gendron, President & CEO of Performance Link Technologies.
“Joining Minuteman allows us to preserve the culture and values that have made us successful while giving our customers access to expanded resources and our employees new opportunities for growth.
“From our very first conversations, it was clear that Minuteman shares our belief that lasting relationships are the foundation of long-term success. We couldn’t be more excited about what we’ll accomplish together.”
“From the very beginning, our goal has been to provide exceptional service and create lasting relationships,” added Rich Bedner, COO & Vice President of Performance Link Technologies.
“This partnership gives us the opportunity to build on everything we’ve created while offering our customers the strength of a national organization.
“They’ll continue working with the team they know and trust, now backed by an even broader network of industry experts, expanded technical capabilities and nationwide resources.
“We’re excited to be part of a company that’s investing in our people, our customers and our future.”
